"A quite beautiful compromise": The LEGO Skylines devs did consider brick by brick building, but decided it was too much fuss for players

LEGO Skylines is the new plastic city-builder from Cities: Skylines 2 and Surviving the Aftermath developers Iceflake Studios, published by Paradox Interactive. I've played an hour or so of a preview build, just long enough to devise a circular highway of coffee shops, glass-fronted houses, unaccountably cheerful farms, and playgrounds poking up haphazardly like fungus. Kind of like the M25, but more rustickal. There's a park in the middle that can't work out which century it's in, with an ornam

Lego Skylines Hands-On Preview: It’s a Cozy, More Relaxing City-Builder

If you’re like me and looking for something a little less… punishing, shall we say, Lego Skylines might fit the bill. The developers described it to me as a cozier, simpler city builder. You’ll still have problems – crime, fires, you know, the things cities deal with – but you’ll have time to solve them.

Lego Skylines' devs want your city's problems to be visible without digging into a stats screen, which means finding a "family friendly" version of showing homelessness

As pretty as Cities: Skylines is, getting a read on your city's problems can take some digging. While traffic jams are immediately visible, prompting you to start reorganising the layout of your streets and bypasses, other issues only make themselves known when you switch on overlays or bring up a stats screen. Changing that is one developer Iceflake Studios aims for colourful plastic brick-based spinoff Lego Skylines. "If there's an issue, it should be visible in the world," game director Lasse

Lego Skylines is more approachable than the main Cities Skylines series, but that doesn’t mean it’s basic

Hands-on: Paradox's brick-based spin-off is certainly still packing plenty of detail

Lego Skylines is already looking like a treat, but I suspect the real magic's in the stuff Paradox won't talk about just yet

How's this for an unhelpful opener: in a lot of ways, Lego Skylines is exactly what you think it is; but in others, it's probably not. Conceptually, it's a winner, of course - a city builder built with Lego! - and yet it takes things unexpectedly far. But also there's a lot that publisher Paradox and developer Iceflake Studios are keeping quiet for now, and I suspect it's in these still-mysterious details where the game'll really come alive.

LEGO Is Getting A New City-Building Game Made By The Cities: Skylines Team

Iceflake began city building earlier this year. If you love city builders and LEGO, you might be interested in the upcoming Switch 2 release, LEGO Skylines. It comes from Paradox Interactive (the publisher behind the Cities: Skylines series) and will be developed by Iceflake Studios, who took over Colossal Order's work on Cities: Skylines 2 at the start of 2026.

Having taken over Cities: Skylines 2's resurrection, Iceflake Studios are also making a bricky city builder called Lego Skylines

You probably don't need me to recap the difficult life Cities: Skylines 2 has had since hitting the streets in 2023. Plagued by performance issues and prompting questions over whether its additions made it a worthy sequel right out of the gate, thus followed years of tweaks aiming to undo the damage. Eventually, original developers Colossal Order handed over the game and series' reins to Iceflake Studios, with Paradox Interactive staying on as publishers. The latter two have now revealed the nex

Is Paradox making a Lego Skylines city-building game? That's what the latest Korean age ratings board update suggests

City-building game Cities: Skylines 2 wasn't the sequel fans of the original were expecting, but more work is being done on them both as we speak. Meanwhile, it appears Paradox Interactive - known for strategy and management games - is betting on a Lego version of the series, or at least that's what the latest Korean age ratings tease.
