Paradox Interactive and Iceflake Studios have officially announced Park Adventures, the first original expansion developed by Iceflake Studios for Cities: Skylines II. The upcoming expansion is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on December 2, 2026.
Park Adventures will retail for $19.99 / £16.99 / €19.99 and will also be available to owners of Cities: Skylines II: Expansion Pass II.
Designing Custom Recreational Destinations
The expansion introduces modular mechanics allowing virtual city planners to shape custom green spaces, botanical conservatories with tea houses, high-thrill amusement parks featuring rollercoasters and gyro towers, interactive city zoos, and sprawling nature reserves complete with hiking trails and park lodges.
Key features included in the expansion:
-
Modular Park Customization: Players draw custom park boundaries and populate them with specialised attractions, balancing ticket prices, staff funding, and visitor satisfaction to optimise park performance.
-
Dedicated Park Economy: A new recreation management tab delivers city-wide and individual park profit-and-loss statements, requiring players to actively balance maintenance costs against guest ratings.
-
Expanded Roster of Assets: Over 100 new assets, including unique building structures, ride attractions, and zoo animal enclosures.
-
New Biomes & Maps: Five new maps tailored for arid, tropical, boreal, alpine, and Mediterranean urban planning.
Free Shift Update and Weekend Trial
Alongside the expansion announcement, Iceflake Studios released the free Seasonal Shift base-game update. The patch incorporates community-tested improvements from the recent Open Beta, updates upscaler support (including DLSS 4.5, FSR 3, and XeSS 3), and enhances functionality for Paradox Mods.
To mark the announcement, Cities: Skylines II will host a free-to-play weekend on Steam from November 12 through November 16. Wishlisting for Park Adventures is currently open on Steam.
