Natural Disasters Ready To Impact Cities: Skylines

Paradox Interactive are continuing the tradition of strong support for their titles with a new expansion for the 2015 city-builder Cities: Skylines entitled Natural Disasters.

As should come as no surprise this brings Mother Nature's wrath upon your creations. Both as naturally occurring events or as vindictively player triggered ones. Fire will spread and panic will run riot across your city as you try to plan and prepare with early warning systems and radio broadcast systems.

The expansion will include the following:

• Deep, Impactful Gameplay: Keep your city going through the devastation of several possible doomsday scenarios, from towering infernos to the day the sky exploded
• With Great Power Comes Great Response Abilities: Plan for, and respond to, disasters using early warning systems, countermeasures, and new disaster responses such as helicopters and evacuations – finally, a Paradox game where “Comet Sighted” actually means something
• Radio Saved the Video Game: Citizens can go Radio Ga-Ga with a new broadcast network, helping to rapidly spread evacuation warnings and emergency alerts – or simply relax to new in-game music stations
• An Objectively Good Feature: Scenario Mode allows players to design custom game objectives, including custom starting cities, win conditions, time limits, and more – and share scenarios to Steam Workshop
• Chirpocalypse Now: Heck yeah, new hats for Chirper

Cities Skylines: Natural Disasters will be available for PC, Mac and Linux this winter.
