LEGO Skylines Announced: A Brick-Based City Builder From the Cities: Skylines Devs

Paradox Interactive and Iceflake Studios have officially pulled back the curtain on LEGO Skylines, a brick-based city builder revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026. The announcement confirmed what many had suspected after leaks surfaced earlier this year, putting a colorful LEGO spin on the beloved Cities: Skylines franchise. The game will launch on PC and consoles, including Xbox, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Developed by Iceflake Studios, the same team that took over the troubled resurrection of Cities: Skylines 2, LEGO Skylines aims to deliver a more cozy and accessible take on the city-building genre. Players will construct sprawling metropolises built entirely from LEGO bricks, blending the satisfying depth of urban planning gameplay with the iconic charm of everyone's favorite plastic blocks. The pairing feels almost inevitable, given how naturally the creativity of LEGO maps onto the sandbox nature of city builders.
