Soon, we&#8217;ll be able to do that once more in video game form. <em>Lego Skylines<\/em> was announced today at Gamescom&#8217;s Opening Night Live. The upcoming blocky city builder will be available for Steam, PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X\/S and Nintendo Switch 2, although no release window has been given yet.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The project is being developed by Iceflake Studios, which fans of this game genre might recognize as the current team behind <em>Cities: Skylines II<\/em>. Paradox Interactive, which has been the long-time publisher for that franchise, removed original creator Colossal Order from working on the sequel after a contentious launch that resulted in\u00a0a lot of bad blood between game studio and game community. Paradox will also publish this next upcoming title.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The <em>Lego Skylines<\/em> trailer shows all the colorful joy you&#8217;d expect for a game from the legendary toy brand, coupled with many standard concepts for a city builder, like residential house plots and a powerful need for a fire brigade. After such a long, difficult run on the struggle bus, it&#8217;s wonderful to see a fresh new chapter emerging for this franchise. Engadget&#8217;s resident <em>Cities: Skylines<\/em> fans have been pleased with Iceflake&#8217;s work so far, so here&#8217;s hoping that they are able to continue that positivity into <em>Lego Skylines<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2244251\/lego-skylines-is-a-cozy-city-builder-from-the-studio-that-s-repairing-cities-skylines-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; Many of us built fantastical and wildly impractical cities from Legos as kids.
