Cities: Skylines is Going to College with the Campus Update

If you felt like the massively immersive city building simulator Cities: Skylines was missing out on a big opportunity for higher education, you need wait no longer. Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order have announced the next DLC for the game, which is the Campus update to add University life for all your city inhabitants. The Campus update lets you start several schools from a Liberal Arts college to a Trade School.

Players can increase the reputation of their city campuses by attracting students and creating "Academic Works." They'll also have access to five types of varsity sports arenas, nine unique faculties, seven new policies, seven new achievements, and five new maps to tie the whole thing together.

The Campus update will hit Cities: Skylines on May21, 2019.

As always, Cities will be debuting a few free DLC in addition to the paid Campus upgrade. The free DLC for Cities include two new radio stations and a new content creator pack, plus two new library buildings, a new yellow school bus, new job titles in the citizen info panel, and new industry policies:
