FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Cities Skylines 2 is breaking barriers with its massive map, which is five 
times as big as its predecessor's. 

The release date of Cities Skylines 2 is getting closer, and, since it's 
scheduled for launch on October 24, 2023, on Xbox Series X |S, PS5 , and PC, 
there isn't that long to wait. As launch day approaches, however, developer 
Colossal Order is unleashing more teasers for excited players. 

Today, we got a massive info dump on the Maps and Themes in Cities Skylines 2 
, and it all looks very impressive. "How the world feels, looks, and changes 
sets the scene for our lived experience", Colossal Order said in a YouTube 
trailer . The map is now five times bigger than the original, clocking in at 
159 km2, "which is bigger than some countries". In fact, it's roughly the 
same size as Liechtenstein in central Europe. 

"In Cities: Skylines, the playable area consists of 5x5 tiles, 9 of which can 
be purchased once everything is unlocked," Colossal Order says. "One map tile 
is 1.92 x 1.92 km which results in the total playable area being92.16kmwith a 
maximum of33.18kmto build a city on." 

The extensive map encourages even more creativity as you "think outside the 
box". Players can now "create connections to cities beyond the edge of your 
map to open up trade routes that can accelerate your city's growth". You can 
also think vertically in Cities Skylines 2 . Now height limits have been 
lifted; you can build in ways you never have before and get creative with 
your cities. 

You can also shape the feel and look of your city. Despite choosing one 
region, you'll be able to "pepper European buildings in your North American 
city and Vice Versa". This'll hopefully mean that you can make every city 
unique and personalized to your tastes.
