Expansion Pass 2 marks Iceflake Studios' first expansion pass release since taking over Cities: Skylines II development late last year, and their first wave of original content for the game. The new pass expands the game with a full park-building system, an overhauled tourism economy, a vibrant commercial set, residential buildings, a complete emergency services infrastructure, and more!

Cities: Skylines II: Expansion Pass 2 includes:

• Downtown Market Set: This Instant Unlock adds a dynamic social hub made from repurposed shipping containers and food trucks. The container gate anchors the space and expands with smaller shops, while the individual food truck lots can be placed anywhere in your city. Includes a Scottish-inspired Temperate map, enriched by lochs, rivers, and ruins. This content is instantly unlocked upon purchase of Expansion Pass 2.
• Park Adventures: This Expansion introduces a modular park-building system where you draw your park area and fill it with assets from four distinct park types: city parks, zoos, amusement parks, and nature reserves. Parks level up as they attract visitors, and a new park economy lets you manage ticket prices, staff budgets, and maintenance to keep your ratings high. Includes over 100 new assets and five new maps.
• City Vacations: This Expansion enhances tourism with new visitor-focused buildings, landmarks, and attractions. Visitor numbers now shift with the seasons, and new management tools let you control tourist arrival flows, preferred transport methods, and where spending goes in your city.
• Creator Pack: Modern Suburbs (by 'Trist1322'): This Creator Pack introduces contemporary low-rise residential buildings — mixed-use structures and row homes of one to three stories — designed to work as standalone developments or as infill alongside existing residential zones from other packs.
• Creator Pack: First Response (by 'Arthaix'): Meet your city’s emergency response needs from a Tiny Village all the way to your Massive Metropolis! Unlock a range of buildings specialized for each emergency service as your city progresses, whether it’s Fire, Disaster, Medical, Police, or new all-in-one Combined Response; there’s a response to any emergency you may face!
• Map Pack: Explore new horizons with 'Map Pack' by 'Uncle Ron'. This Creator Pack features seven maps inspired by destinations around the world, from tropical islands to alpine valleys and desert canyons. Unlock fresh landscapes, challenges, and possibilities for your city! 
• Corner Street Beats: Whether you're laying down transit lines late into the night or watching the city lights come on across the skyline, Corner Street Beats keeps the session going with late-night sounds purpose-built for city building.

Today’s launch is accompanied by the ‘Autumn Breeze’ patch, which includes various improvements to gameplay, visuals, UI, and more. Read the full patch notes here.
