The saga of Cities: Skylines II has involved a lot of frustration, and the years-long ride still doesn’t appear to be over. The latest news from the developer is yet another delay, this time for the planned Bridges & Ports DLC. Colossal Order will release a small free update to the game on June 11 as planned, but the full expansion is now being pushed back to some time in Q4.
A post from the team on publisher Paradox Interactive’s forum explained that the delay was based on early access feedback that the DLC still needs more polish. “That left us with a difficult choice: delay the release once again to add more depth, or release it as-is, knowing players may feel it falls short,” the update states. “We believe the current content is enjoyable, but we’re not blind to what’s missing, and to bring it to the level you deserve, we need more time.”
The last players heard from Colossal Order was also a delay, in that instance for the console port of the city-builder. The studio said the version wouldn’t be available before summer 2025, but a more specific date hasn’t been shared yet. Cities: Skylines II has had a challenging life cycle for both the players and the developers, so it’s particular tough to hear that the game is still struggling.
