About Cities: Skylines - After Dark DLC

Cities: Skylines - After Dark is the first major expansion for the acclaimed city-building simulation. Developed by Colossal Order and published by Paradox Interactive, this DLC introduces a dynamic day and night cycle that transforms how your city operates. As the sun goes down, citizen schedules shift, traffic eases, and certain zones become less active, adding a new layer of strategy to urban management.

The centerpiece of After Dark is the day and night cycle, which affects everything from citizen routines to traffic patterns. During the night, service vehicles continue their rounds, but commercial and industrial areas may not operate at full efficiency. This free update for all players sets the stage for the expansion's paid features, including leisure and beach specializations.

Leisure specialization allows commercial areas to focus on nightlife, with bars, clubs, and entertainment venues that thrive after dark. Beach specialization turns shoreline commercial zones into beach bars, restaurants, marinas, and fishing tours, creating a vibrant coastal atmosphere. Both specializations bring unique visual and gameplay changes to your city.

New city services expand your toolkit: police buildings now send criminals to prison, taxis provide on-demand transportation for citizens and tourists, cargo hubs combine harbor and rail logistics, and international airports with attached metro stations handle increased traffic. A bus terminal enables efficient transfers between bus lines, improving public transit connectivity.

Transportation gets a green upgrade with bikes and dedicated bike lanes, offering a faster alternative to walking. Bus lanes help public transport run smoother by reducing delays. These additions encourage eco-friendly travel and reduce congestion, giving you more options to design a livable, efficient metropolis.

Whether you're building a bustling nightlife district or a serene beachfront community, After Dark enhances the core Cities: Skylines experience with fresh challenges and creative possibilities. This DLC is perfect for players who want to deepen their city management and explore the rhythms of urban life around the clock.
