Office Evolution & City Stations - Available Now!
Cities: Skylines II joins the anniversary celebration today with brand-new content and a fresh free update.
Available Now
Witness the merging of tradition and modernity with the Creator Pack ‘Office Evolution’. Designed by community creator ‘Titan’, this pack captures the architectural journey from classic heritage façades to sleek, contemporary office spaces. Evolving from stone-clad offices of the 19th century into the glass-and-steel structures of the 21st, it preserves your office district’s historic character while embracing modern ambition.
Make your city feel connected with the Creator Pack ‘City Stations’. Designed by community creator ‘BadPeanut’, this pack expands the variety of transit infrastructure available for your metropolis. Featuring a selection of stations for your Bus, Train, Tram, and Subway networks, the pack introduces new landmarks for your citizens and lays the foundation for a transport system that is both efficient and beautiful.
Let motion and melody intertwine on Skyrail Radio, your ticket to a rhythmic urban journey. With smooth tracks and cosmopolitan beats, this station captures the flow of a city on the move. From elevated rails to bustling hubs, let these tunes accompany you as you connect your modern city’s heartbeats through track and tempo.
Refine your productivity with Smooth Vibes FM, perfect music for the office lounge. Set yourself to a relaxed mood when designing modern workspaces, stylish lobbies, and new commercial zones. Let the vibes flow as smoothly as your city’s innovation.
Office Evolution expands your high-density office zones with new signature buildings that blend heritage character and modern design, reshaping your business districts in bold new ways.
City Stations enhances your transport network with compact depots, detailed rail yards, alternate station designs, and new landmarks to elevate your infrastructure game.
Two new radio stations, Smooth Vibes FM and Skyrail Radio, are also ready to soundtrack your city’s growth.
In addition, a free patch from Iceflake Studios is now available to download, marking their second update for the game and bringing further improvements to your city-building experience.
First up is a new zoning toggle for roads. Inspired by popular community mods, this feature lets you remove zoning from either side of a road, or both, giving you more control when designing your streets.
The patch also adds the Iceflake Arena, a brand-new signature commercial building that gives your citizens a place to gather for concerts, ice hockey matches, and other events. Beyond the entertainment, the arena boosts attractiveness and well-being across the city within a two-kilometer radius.
A first version of the new in-game Encyclopedia is also included. It gathers useful information about game systems, tutorials, and features into one searchable place, making it easier to find answers while you build.
