Paradox Interactive has released a free content update for its hit city-builder Cities Skylines introducing a variety of free European-themed DLC.
Available to download from today, the free update packs in three new European-themed maps and over 50 European-style buildings, along with a range of additional new features, including tunnels and the option to import custom vehicles into the game’s Asset Editor.
“Cities: Skylines will continue to follow the traditions set by other recent Paradox releases such as Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV of paid expansions combined with large updates of free content ensuring that all players, whether they choose to purchase the expansions or not, will have plenty of new features to look forward to,” said Paradox brand manager Jakob Munthe. “One of the major differences, however, between those titles and Cities: Skylines will be that minor DLC updates will be uncommon. The majority of content updates will be significant upgrades and additions.
“Going forward, we will focus on giving away the main features for free and improving the modding tools, while also selling major expansions around new mechanics,” he continued. “But we will also continue to offer free content such as new buildings and road types.”
Cities Skylines launched on PC in March and proved popular with fans, selling over 1 million copies within its first month on sale.
The full patch notes for today’s update can be found over on the game’s official forums.
