Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order have announced the next expansion coming to Cities: Skylines. The Plazas and Promenades will bring new pedestrian zones, special districts, service buildings, and more to the city management game “soon”. There is no target launch date, but the expansion will simultaneously launch for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Players will be able to purchase the expansion for $14.99.
Expansion features include:
- Pedestrian Streets: let your citizens walk freely on pedestrian-only streets! Place them in your city like any other road and create new green city centers free of most vehicles and pollution.
- Pedestrian Zones and New Policies: activate three zone-specific policies for your city including Slow Driving: all roads in the pedestrian zone, except highways, get a speed limit of 20 miles/hour. Sugar Ban: increases the average lifespan of citizens in the pedestrian zone but decreases their happiness. Street Music: increases happiness and noise pollution in pedestrian commercial zones.
- District Specialization: we added 3 new district specializations: offices, high-density residential areas, and high-density commercial zones. Setting a specialization on a district affects all zoned squares in that district that will spawn buildings with a different visual appearance and a gameplay effect. Each specialization features 24 new modern wall-to-wall buildings!
- City Service Buildings: service buildings are important, but how about awesome-looking service buildings? Connect them to pedestrian zones by matching their visual style and provide services that contribute to good happiness values.
Two content creator packs and two radio stations are also included in the expansion.
