After a chaotic launch, Cities Skylines 2 continues to try to turn things around, but players are still angry. The publisher therefore made a statement which confirms the changes to come in 2024.
If you played Cities Skylines 2 when it launched, then you must know how shaky it was. Player feedback was mixed, for the simple reason that there were massive performance issues. As a result, Colossal Order has promised a good package of improvements for 2024. The problem is that we don’t yet see the color. And the community is starting to lose patience. In order to calm its ardor, Paradox Interactive has made a statement which will perhaps reassure you.
Cities Skylines 2 will improve, “it has to”
Since its release last October, the city builder has still been entitled to a few fixes. However, this is clearly not enough in the eyes of Cities Skylines 2 owners. There are still some rather annoying bugs that remain. This isn’t helped by comments last December from Mariina Hallikainen, the studio’s co-founder and CEO. She said that “ this game might just not be for you “. So obviously, it didn’t please everyone, and it didn’t help to allay fans’ fears.
Today, the situation has nevertheless improved, and that is mainly thanks to the mods. It is precisely this element that allows players to correct many problems impacting Cities Skylines 2. Regardless, Paradox Interactive, the publisher, wanted to make a statement about the game. In its latest financial report, he explains that he is “mixed” about the new games under his stable. You will have understood, it is the second opus of the franchise which is targeted. In itself, the problem is not at the commercial level. In fact, the firm explains that it “can and must do better”.
Cities Skylines 2 continued to sell well, and by the end of the quarter we had sold over a million copies. At the same time, it is clear that we can and must do better. Since release, we have been working hard on improvements and are fully committed to continuing to improve and develop the game, because we firmly believe in its future and are doing everything we can to make it happen..
