Harbor-focused Expansion and ‘Cold Wave Channel’ Radio Station Available Soon

STOCKHOLM - Oct. 9, 2025 - Paradox Interactive, a developer and publisher of games who harbors affection for its players, today announced that Bridges & Ports, a major expansion for their city-building simulator Cities: Skylines II, will be released on October 29, 2025. The expansion focuses on managing, expanding, and improving city shorelines with a new selection of drawbridges and lift bridges, customizable harbors, ferries, and new maritime industries, with a massive catalog of new assets, new maps, and more. Bridges & Ports will be available on PC for a suggested retail price of $19.99/£16.99/€19.99, or as part of the Bridges & Ports Bundle, which also includes the new Cold Wave Channel Radio Station, for a suggested retail price of $22.49/£18.89/€22.49. Players who own the Cities: Skylines II Ultimate Edition, or the Waterfronts Expansion Pass will receive both Bridges & Ports and Cold Wave Channel at no additional cost when each DLC is released later this month.

In Bridges & Ports, players of Cities: Skylines II will connect their cities with the sea like never before. New bridges, customizable and expandable port options, shoreline leisure attractions, maritime industries, and a flood of new assets are all included in this expansion.

Features of Bridges & Ports include:

• 20 new drawbridges and lift bridges: Movable road structures can now allow ships through city waterways without the need for towering bridges. Multiple sizes and styles allow players to prioritize vehicles, pedestrians, or rail traffic, and add a new facet of management to city traffic.
• Customizable ports: Three different sizes of harbor gates give players a range of options to scale up for more traffic. Available also are expansions and upgrades that boost the port’s efficiency, safety, and security. New storage facilities and ore yards, passenger terminals, a customs office, and an emergency response unit help fill out local services, while options like maritime museums and conference centers attract tourism.
• Expanded maritime industries: Bring new business on shore with fishing operations, from fishing piers to inland fish farms, or harvest the bounty of the seas with offshore oil rigs, pipelines, and tankers.
• An ocean of new content: Over 100 new assets, plus new achievements, and never-before-seen maps, including a peninsula, a bay, and vast great lakes.

In addition, the Cold Wave Channel Radio Station will be also available on October 29, where atmospheric melodies create a distinct, minimalist soundscape. This radio gives you a unique blend of icy beats and enigmatic vibes, serving as a sleek backdrop that stimulates creativity and focus. Cold Wave Channel will be available as part of the Bridges & Ports Bundle or the Cities: Skylines II Ultimate Edition or the Waterfronts Expansion Pass, or separately for a suggested retail price of $4.99/£4.49/€4.99.
