This, of course, begs the following question! What could Cities: Skylines 2 improve? We're merely throwing out there the idea of there being a Cities: Skylines 2 in production. We're not saying you should take this as fact, mind.
If you look at things from this perspective, it may well seem like the devs have been focusing their efforts elsewhere. Second is that there's been no concrete announcement for Colossal Order's plans for the rest of 2020. First is the odd fact that there was only one major DLC in 2019. Naturally, there's a fair bit of time left in 2020, but a few things stand out to us.
Only Colossal Order could provide a concrete answer to this question, but if you'd bear with us for a little while longer, we think we have a pretty compelling case here! As we said, the DLC release schedule is fairly important for this part, so let's analyze it a bit.Īs you can see below, Cities: Skylines has had a fairly consistent DLC schedule over the years! Here's the full list of every major piece of content we got so far. Is this really the case, though? Let's circle back to the DLCs once more! Is Cities: Skylines 2 being made? This is no small feat, and we could hardly blame the devs for wanting to move on. After all, the game has far outgrown what the devs ever expected it to be. Colossal Order may simply be getting ready to wrap things up with Cities: Skylines. Now, it should be mentioned that this is all conjecture, honestly. What did happen, though, was that we got a big Humble Bundle focusing specifically on Skylines. The community noticed the discrepancy a few months back, and the devs haven't had a major announcement since.
Namely, having taken a look at Cities: Skylines' DLC release schedule, it seems we're coming up sort for the ongoing period. The second portion of the argument relies partially on the first.
A massive DLC, perhaps! But it could also be Cities: Skylines 2, for all we know. Five years is a rather long time, and there's good chance they've been working on something really major in the background for the better portion of it. For those who've not been keeping count, the original Cities: Skylines took the world by storm in 2015! Since then, the developers - Colossal Order - have been hard at work improving their already phenomenal product and releasing all sorts of expansion packs for it. There are two main points to this argument! First is that it's been quite a while since the first game launched. Even if that might mean moving the production onto a fully-fledged sequel! What makes us think Colossal Order is making Cities: Skylines 2? Thing is, we've got a feeling big things are ahead for Colossal Order and the greatest city-builder ever made. In fact, there's been no announcement whatsoever at the time of writing. Granted, you'll have to bear with us, because nothing's been set in stone yet. The prospect is simple: game sequels are a concept as old as the medium itself, and though we're waiting for Pong 2 still, Cities: Skylines 2 might not be as far-fetched an idea as it first might seem! That is, it's specifically the lack of recent developments that has made us intrigued. A Cities: Skylines 2 announcement may not have been on our radar just a few months back, but recent developments have made the idea far, far more interesting to us.
