Paradox Interactive has revealed this week’s Cities: Skylines 2 gameplay deep dive! Developer Colossal Order details the upcoming city builder’s different Economy and Production options. You can watch the full Cities: Skylines 2 Economy and Production gameplay deep dive right here:

While the economic simulation of Cities: Skylines is similar in concept compared to the economic simulation in Cities: Skylines II, it was simpler in Cities: Skylines. The production chain was relatively narrow, but the economic simulation served its purpose well within the game’s other systems.

As Cities: Skylines II has been built from the ground up and all of its core systems redesigned, there was also the need to redesign the economic simulation. It governs the households and their money and resource usage, businesses finding suitable locations in the city based on their evaluation of potential profit, available resources, connections, and workforce as well as city service functionality and trade.

Cities: Skylines 2 gameplay deep dives are expected to continue until September 11, with new updates weekly. The full roadmap is posted in this article.

Cities: Skylines 2 releases on October 24, 2023 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. It will launch on Xbox Game Pass on the same day.
