LEGO Skylines, a brick-built city builder carrying the Cities: Skylines name, was revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 with a “wishlist now” card. Paradox Interactive’s logo appeared alongside a row of small platform badges that included Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. No date was shown.

The trailer, stamped “built and captured in-game”, opens on brick clouds over a blue-studded sea, where a minifigure angler reels in a shark and falls off the pier. It then shows the loop: a house snapping together brick by brick on a green baseplate, a cul-de-sac filling with trees and a sandbox, approval ticks floating over happy residents, and a town growing into a city with a town hall, a market square, and a harbour. A fire engine arrives at Joe’s diner as it goes up in bright orange brick flames, and the final aerial pulls back over a whole LEGO island with skyscrapers, farms, and a coastal highway.

The card did not name the developer. No price was given.
