After several delays, the Bridges & Ports expansion for the city-building simulator Cities: Skylines II finally has a clear release date – October 29. Soon players will gain new opportunities for shaping and developing coastlines in urban settings with the help of drawbridges and lift bridges, customizable ports, ferries, and other objects of river and sea infrastructure. Bridges & Ports also includes an extensive catalog of new buildings and maps. The expansion will be available on PC, including as part of a bundle that also features the new radio station Cold Wave Channel. Owners of the Cities: Skylines II Ultimate Edition and the Waterfronts Expansion Pass will receive the Bridges & Ports expansion and the Cold Wave Channel radio station at no additional cost upon their release.

In the Bridges & Ports expansion, Cities: Skylines II players will be able to connect their cities to the sea like never before. The expansion includes new bridges, customizable and extendable port options, waterfront entertainment venues, marine infrastructure objects, and a plethora of new buildings.

Key features of Bridges & Ports include:

• 20 new drawbridges and lift bridges: Movable road structures now allow vessels to navigate through urban waterways without the need for high bridges. The variety of sizes and styles enables players to prioritize vehicles, pedestrians, or rail transport and adds a new aspect to managing urban traffic.

• Port customization: port gates of three different sizes provide players with a wide range of options for increasing traffic. Extensions that enhance the efficiency and safety of the port are also available. New warehouses, freight yards, passenger terminals, customs, and rescue stations help expand local services, while maritime museums and conference centers attract tourists.

• Developing the maritime industry: Create spaces for new businesses on the shore – from fishing docks to aquaculture farms on land, or harvest the riches of the sea with offshore oil rigs, pipelines, and tankers.

• A sea of new content: more than 100 new objects, as well as new achievements and previously unseen maps, including a peninsula, a bay, and vast great lakes.

Additionally, on October 29, the Cold Wave Channel radio station will be available, with atmospheric melodies creating a unique minimalist soundscape. This radio will gift players a unique blend of rhythms and a mysterious vibe, serving as an elegant backdrop that stimulates creativity and focus. The Cold Wave channel will be available as part of the Bridges & Ports package and Cities: Skylines II Ultimate Edition, or the Waterfronts Expansion Pass.
