Having taken over Cities: Skylines 2's resurrection, Iceflake Studios are also making a bricky city builder called Lego Skylines

Key Points:

• Lego Skylines, a new city-building game in the Skylines series, has been announced by Iceflake Studios and Paradox Interactive during Gamescom Opening Night Live, featuring a playful, brick-built city-building experience.
• The game encourages players to build functional and beautiful cities with essential services like roads, electricity, food, and water, alongside cozy homes, parks, stores, hospitals, museums, and sports arenas to increase citizen happiness and city ratings.
• Lego Skylines promises a wide selection of customizable buildings and plots, allowing players to create unique cities without conforming to generic designs, aiming to make city-building a more personal and imaginative experience.
• Iceflake Studios and the Lego Group express high ambitions for the game, with hopes that it will be considered among the best in the city-building genre, potentially revitalizing the Skylines series after the challenges faced by Cities: Skylines 2.
• The Lego theme is expected to broaden the game's appeal beyond traditional city-builder fans and reduce the pressure of expectations that future Skylines titles might face, with the added benefit of Lego games' generally positive reception.
