Paradox Interactive has revealed this week’s Cities: Skylines 2 gameplay deep dive! Developer Colossal Order talks about the progression system in the upcoming city builder. You can watch the full Cities: Skylines 2 Progression gameplay deep dive right here:

In Cities Skylines 2, progression has two layers, Milestones and Development Trees. Milestones unlock new services, policies, and infoviews, but the process of unlocking them is different in Cities: Skylines II. Development Trees, an entirely new feature, exist for each service and bring a new level of customization to game progression. Both systems are tied together as Milestones give you points to spend in your Development Trees, allowing you to unlock more advanced services.

Players will accumulate XP via active and passive play to unlock 20 Milestones in Cities: Skylines II, advancing their city from a tiny village all the way to a megapolis.

If you’re hoping to get more information, watch the video above, and don’t forget to check out the full Cities: Skylines 2 Game Progression blog post right here. 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.
