2015's Cities: Skylines successfully filled the void left by the disastrous release of 2013's SimCity reboot. Nearly every mistake made by SimCity was rectified by Cities, from the always-online requirement to the stifling size limitations and everything in between. Simply put, there was the new champion in the city-builder genre.
Publisher Paradox Interactive have just released a trailer announcing an Xbox One version of the acclaimed title. Developer Tantalus Media is helping out with the port, including taking on the daunting task of adapting the mouse-and-keyboard control scheme to the more limited inputs of a console controller. The Xbox One edition will include the After Dark add-on, but, strangely enough, will not include the Snowfall of Natural Disasters expansions.

Our Take
In Game Informer's review of the PC version, Brian Shea praised developer Colossal Order for delivering "the new gold standard of modern city-builders." Here's hoping that the move to console doesn't diminish any of the magic of creating and maintaining a sprawling city.
