As amazing as a Blur-inspired DLC would be (featuring narration from the song's original voice artist Phil Daniels), this news item is actually regarding the city-building simulator Cities: Skylines. Today sees the launch of the game's sixth content DLC, titled "Parklife", which adds another eight achievements.
Released back in Q1 2015, the game has received favorable reviews and the addition of frequent updates, patches and downloadable content will be welcome news to fans of the game. "Parklife" focuses on the greener amenities of your cities, adding features such as amusements parks, nature reserves, zoos, customizable parks and gardens, and a lot more:
PARKS AND RECREATION
Use the new park area tool to create park districts wherever there is empty land, and new city services like Park Maintenance, which boosts happiness and effectiveness and helps level up parks.
BRICK BY BRICK
Customize your city with new buildings and assets, including a new sightseeing bus line, new service buildings, new unique buildings like amusement parks, nature reserves, city parks and zoos, and a regal new monument, the Castle of Lord Chirpwick.
FREEWAY FREE FOR ALL
For the first time in Cities: Skylines, you can place buildings next to paths in the park districts (not just next to roads). Props can be placed anywhere inside park areas.
RECESSES BETWEEN BUILDINGS
Transform those empty spaces between your buildings into vibrant parks and gardens.
IT'S A WALK IN THE PARK
Customize routes and set ticket prices for new walking and sightseeing tours, among other tourism enhancements.
