Natural Disasters Expansion get Added into Cities: Skylines

Cities: Skylines, will get a new expansion with natural disasters, an addition to the game which will allow players summon tornadoes, forest fires, tsunamis, etc.

Cities: Skylines launched two years ago to crushing effect, quickly taking its place as the most popular city simulator, a title which had been long held by the SimCity franchise. Cities: Skyline managed to succeed where the original IP had failed, creating an enjoyable experience that really let gamers feel if their city had come to life, and one which notably launched without constant online issues.

That is why Colossal Order has developed the Natural Disasters expansion, which has just released today. The disaster-themed expansion will give gamers a hearty throwback to the days of SimCity 2000, except on a bigger scale. Since this game is getting compared to a game where a giant spider robot could reign down sheer terror, that is quite a statement.

Players will be able to call various natural disasters at their will, ranging from tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires, and more. While this disasters can unfold naturally, we feel most of them will be triggered by havoc-happy gamers not so long after saving. There will be a handy disaster scheduling system, just to make the destruction a little more organized.

The Natural Disasters expansion will bring 5 new scenarios into the world, which would present a challenge for most of the stalward mayors. Across each scenario a disaster will occur, and it will be up to the player to help the city recover from nature's wrath. No matter if its rebuilding all the roundabouts or fixing Los Santos, each city exists for the player's amusement, and the inhabitants suddenly bear a strange resemblance to the hosts in Westworld.

Apart from the cosmetic additions like the European update or the Snowfall package, Natural Disasters is the biggest update Cities: Skylines has seen since After Dark. The scale of the disasters should be enough to put any mayor on edge, and the expansion adds a dose of adrenaline to what has now been a very peaceful title by design.
