Cities: Skylines, or one of the most engaging alternatives to Sim City, is in line to get yet another expansion. The latest addition to the game is called Parklife, and it’s expected to drop May 24 on PC and Mac.

Where could Cities: Skylines go next? Exactly where the title suggests: Theme parks, zoos, nature reserves, and a swath of other nature-related locales. 

With Parklife’s help, you’ll be able to augment your city into a bustling nature reserve with burgeoning tourist attractions. The new park area tool will help you create customizable park districts that may be filled with a selection of special buildings and props. From there, you can make pathways and routes for your city-dwellers to travel on, as well as set ticket prices for all the new attractions you’ve built. 

In addition to items, props, and pathways, you get a new series of buildings and structures including city parks, zoos, nature reserves, and amusement parks to utilize. You can even help your citizens get from point A to point B by introducing a new bus line. Keep your city clean with Park Maintenance workers where you decide to start planting the seeds of park districts. With new city and park policies, there’s enough content to make sure your citizens stay in line and take care of their new areas, too.

There’s plenty to do in the new expansion, but if that’s not enough you can pay a little extra for the Parklife Plus bundle, which also comes packing a country music-themed radio station, including 16 original songs. 

Now get out there and brush up on your city-building skills. You’ve probably been neglecting the people in your Cities: Skylines game for a while now, and it’s time to do some tidying up before the new expansion hits.
