Swedish publisher Paradox Interactive has announced that its SimCity-style game, called Cities: Skylines, will be released on March 10 across PC, Mac, and Linux. The game was developed by Finnish outfit Colossal Order (Cities in Motion) and will sell for $30 at release.

Paradox has also announced that players can now pre-purchase the game’s $30 standard version and its $40 Deluxe Edition, which comes with bonus in-game items and a soundtrack. Head to Paradox’s website here for more information.

To mark the announcement of Skylines’ release date, Paradox has published a new gameplay trailer, which you can watch above.

“It is no exaggeration to say everyone internally at Paradox has been playing this game for months through every stage of development–it is quite addictive,” Paradox chief executive Fredrik Wester said. “And we are genuinely thrilled that Cities: Skylines will soon be in the hands of players everywhere.”

Skylines is described as a “modern take” on the classic city-simulation genre, featuring sandbox gameplay elements and extensive modding support.
