LEGO Skylines City-Builder Announced at gamescom ONL 2026
Paradox Interactive announced LEGO Skylines during the gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 digital event on August 26, 2026. The city-building game is developed by Iceflake Studios, the studio that took over development of Cities: Skylines II from Colossal Order. Players place LEGO block characters, buildings, and flora and fauna to build their own cities at a relaxed pace, from a grand metropolis to fine details. The announcement trailer showed LEGO-built cities with police and firefighters active in the scenes, and events such as fires are likely to occur. LEGO Skylines is planned for release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. A release date has not been set. The game's connection to Cities: Skylines is notable because Iceflake Studios currently works on Cities: Skylines II, which has led to speculation that LEGO Skylines could be a LEGO version of the established city-builder series.
