The Beach Properties pack will be the first post-launch asset pack and will be available from 25th March. In addition, the pack will launch alongside the first stage of Cities: Skylines II’s long-awaited in-game modding options and tools, allowing players and creators to build, share, and play with mods through a simple in-game interface.
Watch the official announcement video below:
Upon release, an in-game editor will be available allowing players to create or implement Map or Code mods. Using the Paradox Mods platform, also integrated into the Cities: Skylines II experience, creations can be played locally and shared globally. The platform also allows players to discover and curate other available mods, organize their preferred mods into one-click Playsets, and more. Asset modding tools and other options will be made available later this year.
“Modding is part of the lifeblood of Cities: Skylines, and starting our Modding Beta is going to be a transformative step for Cities: Skylines II,” said Mariina Hallikainen, CEO of Colossal Order. “The creativity and feedback from our players are what makes this community what it is. We can’t wait to see how everyone puts these tools to use, and work alongside them to make sure everyone is empowered to make the cities of their dreams.”
