First expansion for Cities: Skylines released

Paradox Interactive today released “After Dark,” the first expansion for the city-building game Cities: Skylines from Colossal Order.

Available today for PC, Mac, and Linux, After Dark adds a variety of new features, focused primarily on the way in-game cities will behave during the game’s new day-and-night cycle. In addition, all players of Cities: Skylines will receive the new day-and-night cycle as an update to their game today, whether they have purchased After Dark or not.

In-game citizens will seek out entertainment and leisure once the work day is over, while the criminal element will also become more active. New tourism specializations will add high-rise hotels and other attractions for out-of-town visitors, including beach facilities if placed near the water. New bus lanes and bicycle lanes allow cities to take advantage of alternate transportation options; new taxi system helps ferry tourists around town. Finally, City services can be scheduled during different times on the day-and-night cycle, allowing for trash pickup at night and more public transit during the day.

After Dark is available for $14.99 from digital retailers. Cities: Skylines was released earlier this year.
