Lego Skylines was revealed during Gamescom's Opening Night Live as a new city-building game coming to Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2, though no release date was announced. It's developed by Iceflake Studios, the team currently handling Cities: Skylines II after Paradox Interactive took the sequel away from original creator Colossal Order, and published by Paradox.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This marks Iceflake's second major project under Paradox after taking over a franchise still recovering from a rocky launch, suggesting the publisher trusts the studio's direction. A Lego-branded spinoff also signals an attempt to broaden the city-builder genre's appeal to younger or more casual players beyond the core simulation audience.
