Cities: Skylines Natural Disaster DLC Arrives on Console This Month

Written by Brandon Hofer on May 02, 2018

News: New DLC is headed your way for Cities: Skylines that can rip apart your city via a natural disaster at any time.

Cities: Skylines is on both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 but it doesn’t have the majority of the DLC that the PC version receives on Steam. Paradox Interactive is slowly trying to change that and now it appears that the “Natural Disasters” DLC will be arriving on consoles later this month.

The new expansion adds a calamitous collection of new features to Cities: Skylines, including new systems for disaster alerts and response -- and of course the disasters themselves, which can occur randomly, or be triggered deliberately by monstrous mayors who have never liked their citizens. Also added for free are three new in-game radio stations with a set of pleasant city-building tunes; owners of the Natural Disasters expansion will also get emergency broadcasts and early warnings via the radio.

Natural Disasters includes the following features:

Deep, Impactful Gameplay: Meteor strikes, forest fires, tsunamis, earthquakes, and more will destroy districts and devastate estates.

With Great Power Comes Great Response Abilities: Plan for, and respond to, disasters using early warning systems, countermeasures, and new disaster responses such as helicopters and evacuations.

This is Not a Test (but it is just a game): New radio systems put the station in devastation with disaster warnings and three free radio stations.

An Objectively Good Feature: A series of pre-made scenarios challenge players with various objectives and conditions.

In addition to Natural Disasters, Paradox has also released additional musical DLC for the game’s new in-game radio feature. The Radio Station Pack, available for $7.99, includes Rock City Radio and Relaxation Station, two of Cities: Skylines most popular radio stations. Whether you’re looking to chill or revving to rock, the Radio Station Pack for Cities: Skylines on console has your ears covered.
