Cities: Skylines goes Green in next expansion

Colossal Order’s next addition to Cities: Skylines will be all green. The Green Cities expansion has been announced today at Gamescom; a DLC that will bring all kinds of eco-friendly options to your city planning.

Promising “350 new assets” for the main game (including over 200 new buildings), Green Cities looks like it will introduce all kinds of buildings and services to help you tackle pollution. These include electric vehicles, sustainable buildings, and, er, the ‘Healthy Weeds’ shop. 420 stay green every day?

A feature summary list (and the trailer) can be seen below. The expansion will be released alongside a free update for Cities: Skylines that will add, among other things, “electric cars, road modding, changes to noise pollution, and more beautification options in the form of parks and trees” to the base game. Green Cities will be priced at $13 USD, and will be out “later this year”.
