As Cities: Skyline 2 continues its attempts to recover from last year's disastrous launch, Paradox Interactive has announced and released a fresh batch of paid DLC for the original Cities: Skylines , some 18 months after delivering what was supposed to be its final major update. Paradox concluded Cities: Skylines 1's release roadmap in May last year with the launch of its final mini-expansion, Hotels & Retreats. At the time, it said developer Colossal Order would continue general support through to the end of 2023 as it shifted its focus to Cities: Skylines 2.
But Cities: Skylines 2 launch went poorly , resulting in multiple delays to Paradox's post-launch DLC plans while Colossal Order continued to improve the base game. An early attempt to foist DLC on the Cities: Skylines 2 player base was so poorly received, Paradox vowed to postpone all future paid DLC "indefinitely". Then, in September, it announced further DLC delays so Colossal Order could complete work on a "crucial" assets editor.
And now, amid a string of other major misfires for Paradox, the publisher has decided to return to a well most assumed had finally run dry. 18 months after wrapping up support for Cities: Skylines 1, it's launched three new paid DLC packs for the game, all themed around mountain peaks and alpine terrain. There's the Mountain Village Pack and Map Pack 3 , both part of Cities: Skylines' Content Creator range, plus the Radio Station Alpine Tunes music pack.
