News: Some new content is coming to Paradox Interactive’s popular city builder that will allow you to see inspiration from different parts of the world.

Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order have revealed the Cities: Skylines World Tour, a series of updates and releases representing different regions around the globe. It will begin on November 15 with the Content Creator Packs “Heart of Korea” and “Skyscrapers,” two Radio Stations, and a free update. The next leg of the tour will be on December 13 when Financial Districts, a new “mini-expansion” from Colossal Order, will be released together with a new map pack and a third radio station.

The Cities Skylines World Tour will continue in 2023 with “Africa in Miniature,” a Content Creator Pack created in collaboration with independent Nigerian developers, and, of course, its own radio station. More details about this World Tour are included below.

Heart of Korea Content Creator Pack by Elvis

Inspired by a South Korean metropolis, this pack introduces 60 assets including service buildings, growables, and unique structures. Heart of Korea releases on November 15 for a suggested retail price of $5.99 USD/$4.79 GBP/$5.99 EUR. The “K-Pop” Radio Station will also release at the same time for a price of $3.99 USD/$2.89 GBP/$3.99 EUR.

Skyscrapers Content Creator Pack by Feinbold

Financial Districts

Colossal Order’s next mini-expansion boosts the economy of your city with a financial district, and introduces the “investment” feature and more than 100 assets to the game, allowing you to use your funds to invest in the best industries for your population. Financial Districts releases on December 13, together with the Content Creator Pack Map Pack 2 which adds 10 new maps to explore different biomes (such as temperate, tropical, desert, and more).

Africa in Miniature

Created in collaboration with independent Nigerian content creators Emmanuel Bassey and Setonji “Prince Set” Hotonu. This Content Creator Pack allows you to tour Africa’s exceptionally varied architecture and vibrant colors. Influenced by Cameroon’s diverse geography (and borrowing the name of the actual “Africa in Miniature” as it’s known all over the world), Africa in Miniature introduces more than 40 buildings inspired by existing urban masterpieces and the region’s unique architectural concepts.

Africa in Miniature is planned to release in 2023 with a new Radio Station called JADIA (Just Another Day in Africa). This is a collection of 16 tracks from Cameroon musician Wan Shey who pays homage to his country’s musical traditions.

Additionally, a free update is planned to release on November 15, which adds free content to both the base game and three Expansions (After Dark, Snowfall, and Plazas & Promenades). This content includes different capacity vehicles like buses and trams, as well as types of roads with multiple lanes, tracks, and bicycle lanes.

If you haven’t tried out Cities: Skylines yet but have been curious about what it is like, it will also be available to play for free for a limited time. Beginning on November 10 and going through November 14, you will be able to download it for free on Steam and play it.

Will you be playing this new content once it is released? If you haven’t played Cities: Skylines before, will you try it out during this free period?
