Switch - 9/14/2018
Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation genre. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience. From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You're only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky! More portable than ever, the new Nintendo Switch Edition of this best-selling city builder comes complete with reworked UI, designed especially for Switch, along with two of Cities: Skylines' most popular expansions - After Dark and Snowfall.
