You’ve already seen the Cities Skylines 2 trailer a few months back and you start to wonder if it still uses the Unity game engine? Look no further because we got you covered.
Cities Skylines 2 is at hand as fans of the city-builder series were given a glimpse of the sequel when it was announced. The teaser trailers were well-received by players as they featured major improvements compared to the first game.
While most of the players are very much impressed with these upgrades, there are those who want to know if the new Cities installment is still using the Unity game engine. Let’s find out.
Is Cities Skylines 2 Still Using The Unity Game Engine?
Yes, the upcoming game still uses Unity which is the same game engine that was used by Colossal Order in making the original game in 2015. This was already confirmed by the Tampere-based developer when they were asked by a fan back in March.
For those unaware, the folks over at Colossal are pretty much adept at using the aforementioned game engine. Further, they also have Cities mods that are also created through Unity. To that end, it would be quite the work if they opted to switch game engines like Unreal.
Why Is Colossal Using Unity?
Back in 2015, Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen revealed the reason why they chose Unity over other game engines.
In a Unity blog post, she stated that their team opted for the game engine due to its success in creating Cities in Motion 2 in 2013. Hallikainen further explained that it’s the flexibility of the game engine that gave them “a robust and powerful framework/engine to build upon.”
