Christmas comes in November with Cities: Skylines’ first console expansion, Snowfall

Today, Paradox Interactive announced that it will release its first console expansion for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Cities: Skylines on November 14, alongside the PC release of the expansion. Entitled Snowfall, the expansion will come with a flurry of new features and content for the game.

Snowfall is an expansion for Cities: Skylines, the award-winning management game that puts you in control of a growing metropolis. In Snowfall, your city can be covered in snow or glisten in the rain with in-game weather – which adds new challenges as well. Add snowplows to clear your streets, and help citizens keep warm in the storm with city-wide heating systems. New public transit options also help residents get across your city, rain or shine.

Snowfall includes:

Now is the Winter of This Content: Rain and fog for existing maps, plus a “Winter” map theme with snow and new challenges – snowplows, road maintenance, and more

The Streetcars You Desire: New public transit options, including street trams and easier management of existing lines

World Warmth, Too: Cold weather increases demands for electricity, unless new heat systems are in place

Cities: Skylines’ Snowfall will retail for $12.99 on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. In addition to the console expansion, Paradox has also announced that it will release a season pass ($39.99) and premium edition ($69.99, includes the base game and season pass) of Cities: Skylines for consoles, which will include the full expansions Snowfall, Natural Disasters, and Mass Transit, content creator packs Mass Transit and High Tech Buildings, as well as radio station DLC Relaxation Station and Rock City Radio.
