The Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee updated its listings in August 2026 to include a LEGO Skylines game, signaling a potential upcoming reveal for the title [1, 2]. Though the game is linked to publisher Paradox Interactive, the developer remains unknown at this time [1, 2].
The new LEGO Skylines project appears to be a blockier, more accessible take on the Cities: Skylines city-building series, designed to appeal to a broader or younger audience [1, 2].
The original Cities: Skylines and its sequel were developed by Finnish studio Colossal Order. However, Colossal Order is no longer working with Paradox Interactive, which suggests the LEGO-themed title may involve a different developer [2]. Since the release of Cities: Skylines 2 in October 2023, ongoing development and improvements have been handled by another Finnish studio, Iceflake Studios [2].
Cities: Skylines 2 launched with a mixed reception, facing criticism for performance issues and missing features [2]. Fans expressed skepticism on Reddit about the timing of the LEGO spinoff, with one commenting, "How tf are they doing that when 2 is still in the shape it is in?" and another noting, "Can't wait! See you three years after release when the game is somewhat playable!" [2]. Still, some fans expressed excitement, saying a LEGO city-building game would "knock my socks off" if executed well, and others described the announcement as hitting their nostalgia for LEGO and early Sim City titles [2].
No official details on the release date or gameplay have been announced. The Korean rating listing is the latest concrete sign of the game's existence as Paradox Interactive prepares for a formal reveal.
