Today we announced the first post-launch content for Cities: Skylines II, the asset pack Beach Properties, which will be released on the 25th of March, 2024. Alongside the patch we will introduce the first stage of the long-awaited modding support, providing players with the tools to create, share, and play with mods through an integrated in-game interface. Modding is the lifeblood of Cities: Skylines and we’re excited to start our public modding beta. The creativity and feedback from our players make this community great and we can’t wait to see what they create using the tools we provide. Starting on the 25th of March, players will be able to create custom maps using the in-game Editor and implement Code Mods, both of which can be shared through the Paradox Mods platform. Tools for asset creation and other modding options will be available later this year as we continue to expand the modding tools and empower our players to create the cities of their dreams. https://lnkd.in/dRWwN4zx

Finnish Minister of Employment Arto Satonen visited the HQ of game studio Colossal Order Ltd in #Tampere today. Minister Satonen works actively to support talent attraction to Finland and remove obstacles from talent immigration process. CEO Mariina Hallikainen led a tour of the office facilities and Neogames director KooPee Hiltunen provided in-depth insights into the distinctive challenges confronting the local game industry, especially concerning recruitment and local immigration policy. The acquisition of experienced professionals stands out as a persistent obstacle for the Finnish Game Industry. As of the end of 2022, the sector employed approximately 4,100 individuals, with 30% being foreign citizens. Game companies project a demand for 500 to 1,300 new employees in the coming years. Foreign recruitment primarily targets highly skilled specialists, whose availability in Finland is limited. Local game companies hope that the Finnish government will proactively support entrepreneurs in attracting exceptional talent to the country, contributing to the continued growth of the industry.
