Look, let us be honest: when Paradox Interactive, a publisher with quite a knack for strategy games, teams up with the absolute king of plastic bricks, you pay attention. Blending the joy of snapping together toy blocks to build a metropolis, LEGO Skyline has finally pulled back the curtain at Gamescom.

Paradox Interactive pulled the wrapper off LEGO Skyline during the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase on August 26. This new simulation title lets you construct cities entirely out of LEGO bricks, complete with minifigures roaming about. The overall aesthetic screams authentic LEGO charm, and honestly, it is quite hard to look away.

The gameplay loop feels rather familiar if you have spent any time with Cities: Skylines, another heavy hitter in the publisher's stable. You need to supply electricity, food, and water to keep citizens thriving in the concrete jungle. On top of that, you will be gifting them lovely houses, providing decent jobs, and carving out parks for some well-earned rest. Naturally, keeping the municipal gears turning with hospitals, waste collection, and sewage treatment is part of the gig. Designing and running a safe, pleasant city is entirely up to you.

LEGO Skyline currently has no set release date, though its Steam page is already up and waiting. Best of all, it will officially support Korean subtitles.
