Paradox Interactive has announced that a sequel to the popular city builder game, Cities: Skylines, is in the works. Cities: Skylines 2 promises to be the most realistic city builder to date, boasting a deep simulation and a living economy. While specific details on the game remain scarce, the achievement list for the sequel provides some tantalizing hints about the new gameplay mechanics players can expect.

40 Achievements with 1,000 Points

According to XboxAchievements, Cities: Skylines 2 will have 40 achievements worth a total of 1,000 points. These achievements offer a glimpse into some of the new features players can expect in the sequel.

Everything the Light Touches

One of the most exciting achievements is “Everything the Light Touches,” which unlocks when players unlock 150 map tiles in a single city. In the original game, players were limited to a building area of 25 tiles or up to 81 with the use of mods. This achievement hints that players will have much more space to build their cities in the sequel.

Things Are Not Looking Up

Another achievement, “Things Are Not Looking Up,” unlocks when players experience a rat infestation in their city. This suggests that in the sequel, players will have to contend with a range of in-game events and challenges beyond just building and managing their city.

Four Seasons and Natural Disasters

The “Four Seasons” achievement suggests that players can experience various weather conditions throughout the year. Other achievements hint at natural disasters like hailstorms, tornadoes, and forest fires, which could add a new level of challenge to the game.

You Little Stalker and Go Anywhere

Other achievements, such as “You Little Stalker” and “Go Anywhere,” offer hints at more nuanced gameplay mechanics. “You Little Stalker” unlocks when players follow a citizen’s lifepath from childhood to old age. “Go Anywhere” unlocks when players have 20 active transport lines, including cargo lines.

Exciting Possibilities

While the exact details of Cities: Skylines 2 remain unknown, the achievement list offers exciting possibilities for what players can expect in the sequel. With promises of a more realistic city-building experience and a deep simulation, fans of the genre are eagerly anticipating the game’s release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X later this year.
