LEGO Skylines City Builder Game Announced

August 25, 2026 /

At Gamescom 2026, LEGO and Paradox Interactive has announced a new game called LEGO Skylines. If you’ve every played City Skylines, it’s a city builder where you control what goes on in your city. In LEGO Skylines, it’s pretty much the same but everything is in LEGO. There’s no release date yet but it’ll be on all the major systems including Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Build a city where everything just clicks

Create a city like no other in LEGO® Skylines. It’s a city-builder you pick up for five minutes and suddenly it’s tomorrow. Seriously, it happens. Build whatever pops into your head or get lost in the details. What happens next is up to you. Make it beautiful. Make it weird. Make it yours.

Donut shops on every corner because that would be awesome. A frankly absurd amount of buildings, decorations, and other cool stuff (customization stuff) will make it easy to create a city that’s got your fingerprints all over it.

LEGO Skylines puts you in charge of, well, everything. Remember hospitals to keep everyone in one piece. Wheat for the donuts. Garbage collection, sewage, and all the other things that make a city click. How it all comes together is up to you. So stick your hard hat on and greenlight your weirdest ideas. Tweak one thing more times than
