I believe there may be an opportunity, simply ever so barely, that the event of Cities Skylines 2 has been a bit troublesome. The sport launched again in October of 2023 and has suffered from performance issues, rushed DLC, and a delay to its first enlargement Bridges and Ports. This enlargement was meant to return quickly after the Seaside Properties DLC, however that clearly did not occur, catching a delay to someday within the second quarter of 2025 particularly to proceed enhancing upon the bottom sport. Besides the enlargement has been delayed as soon as once more.
Over on a forum post, developer Colossal Order shared an replace explaining why the DLC has caught one other delay. “After reviewing the content material ourselves and sharing it with our early entry group, we’ve obtained constant suggestions: the bridges are tremendous thrilling, and the port works nicely, however there are features of the enlargement that aren’t as polished as they might be.”
This, they are saying, left them with “a troublesome selection: delay the discharge as soon as once more so as to add extra depth, or launch it as-is, understanding gamers could really feel it falls quick.” Colossal additionally stated they assume Bridges and Ports is satisfying as is, however to “convey it to the extent you deserve, we’d like extra time.” Now, it is anticipated to launch someday within the fourth quarter of this yr.
Mockingly, a free replace is approaching June eleventh that was meant to coincide with the enlargement that features a few new bridges, three leisure piers, and three quays. It is one thing! To be truthful to Colossal, delaying it in all probability is the higher determination, I may fairly simply see one other botched DLC sinking that metropolis builder formed ship.
I believe there was some well-known man who had a plumber for a son that after stated one thing like “a delayed Bridges and Ports enlargement is finally good, however a rushed Bridges and Ports enlargement is ceaselessly dangerous.” Is likely to be paraphrasing.
