Release Date?

[Ricebug]

Anyone know when CS2 is being released? I'm probably going to uninstall the old game if its soon.

Some news said this years maybe winter 2023, but I think maybe release in 2024. And I never buy this game first release because poor stuff and have many bug.
I hope CS 2 like Planet Coaster building, doesn't need Blender or 3DS Max to make custom building.

Paradox say we can learn more about the sequel “in the coming months,” but in the meantime, we can celebrate the original’s 8th birthday on March 10th.

I say wait until other people have played even when it comes out, I don't trust paradox because they are money hungry and always release a skeleton and then force you to pay MORE money to get the real experience. So wait until people make sure it's not a scam.

Don't be so paranoid, bruh. The video game industry is one of the biggest money machines on the planet. That means they are all about making money, not ripping off their customers.

I think Paradox has more than proved themselves worthy. They have proved to support the game, not only the 5-years they promised during pre-release, but they have supported it for a full 8-years, and counting.

I will definitely pre-order and I'm already on the wish list. The last few Simcity games have barely even got one expansion, and none of them two.

It is nice that they continue to support the game, even though I may not buy them all, they definitely have value, especially non-workshop versions. I will gladly pay $30 -$60 yearly for extra content. I think I've averaged nearly 500 hours of playtime a year. I think that is a very good bargain.

Most games I buy, I play for a month or two and move on to the next game. But this one I keep coming back, over and over.

That's plain and simple wrong. Night time was given for free together with the DLC After Dark.

Winter is now.. so that is wrong. Correct wording would be end of the year 2023.
Colossal Order did a really good job with the first CS so pre ordering could still be done without any big fear.
Yes CS 2 will probably be a bare skeleton however with Paradox as a publisher we know to going to receive tons of DLC's which will add everything again.

Trailer says 2023. Unless there is a delay I think it's safe to assume it will be this year.

I can't remember a game now-a-days that hasn't been delayed so I generally add 3 months to any initial release date. So my guess, around this time next year.

Disclaimer: this is no hate, I prefer them to take their time. And as I work in project management field myself, I know every project will have situations you can't account for that gives delays. It's the classical example of when you're a student and you remember that homework or paper that needs to be handed in the next morning so you need to pull that all-nighter. And game development is project based work.

No release date yet, sometime this year, possibly next year. And yes, I do prefer a bug free playable game than a rushed crippled release, so if delays are necessary, so be it.
