When it comes to building and management sims, we haven\u2019t played a game that tops it\u2026 for now.<\/p>\n<p>Because the sequel is within our grasps! If you\u2019re out of the know, the Cities: Skylines release date might be closer than you think.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been promised a lot by the devs. Not only will the mechanics receive an upgrade, but the limits of our cities will be endless.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve sunk hours into the first game, or you\u2019re completely new to Cities: Skylines, we recommend checking this one out.<\/p>\n<p>But when\u2019s it coming out? Can we preorder, and is it a PC exclusive or can we play on consoles, too?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll share everything we know about Cities: Skylines 2 below \u2013 and throw in a trailer for good measure!<\/p>\n<h2><b>When is the Cities: Skylines 2 release date?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Great news, city planners!
