Cities Skylines: After Dark Expansion Announced

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Batman universe or a Gotham City-like implementation soon, or even better, MODS.

Developers Colossal Order and their publishers Paradox Interactive have announced the first expansion to their wildly successful city-building game, Cities Skylines at Gamescom. The focus of this upcoming expansion, Cities Skylines: After Dark, gives the game an all-new exciting day-night cycle and variations of game mechanisms along with new ones, as detailed by the brief below:

Day and Night Cycle: Day and night changes in the city and affects citizen schedules. Traffic is visibly slower at night and some zoned areas do not work with full efficiency, further easing the traffic. Service vehicles move around as usual. A free update for all users.

Leisure specialization: Commercial areas can specialize in leisure activities. Leisure areas are especially active during the night, but work like regular commercial areas during the day.

Beach specialization: Commercial areas such as beach bars and restaurants, small marina and fishing tours on the shoreline can specialize in beach activities.

Expanded City Services: Criminals will now be taken to Prison from Police buildings. Taxi service will help citizens and tourists travel around the city. Cargo hubs are harbors that accept cargo trains straight to the terminal. International airport is a huge airport, allowing much more traffic than the previous airport. It has a metro station attached to it. Bus terminal allows citizens to transfer to other bus lines in the terminal building.

New transportation options: Bikes and dedicated bike lanes and bike ways let citizens opt for a faster alternative to walking. Bus lanes can be used to help the public transportation run smoother.

More transport options, oh my. I totally can't wait for Cities Skylines: After Dark to be out and to sink more time into my bustling metropolis.
