Arttu Rajala 19 August 2016

Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order have revealed during Gamescom 2016 that popular city builder Cities: Skylines gets a new add-on. DLC is called Natural Disasters and in it players get to tackle various incidents like fires, floods and even meteor strikes. They can also be played in co-op with friends in a new Scenario game mode.

Natural Disasters arrives on Windows, Mac and Linux next winter. Check out the announcement trailer and promised features below.

* Deep, Impactful Gameplay: Keep your city going through the devastation of several possible doomsday scenarios, from towering infernos to the day the sky exploded

* With Great Power Comes Great Response Abilities: Plan for, and respond to, disasters using early warning systems, countermeasures, and new disaster responses such as helicopters and evacuations - finally, a Paradox game where "Comet Sighted" actually means something

* Radio Saved the Video Game: Citizens can go Radio Ga-Ga with a new broadcast network, helping to rapidly spread evacuation warnings and emergency alerts - or simply relax to new in-game music stations

* An Objectively Good Feature: Scenario Mode allows players to design custom game objectives, including custom starting cities, win conditions, time limits, and more - and share scenarios to Steam Workshop
