There are a few games that prove a natural fit for competitive play, and then there is Cities: Skylines.<\/p>\n

That’s no sleight on Paradox Interactive’s city builder, it’s just that a single-player game that tasks you with creating a functioning city from transport to housing, hardly screams nail-biting competitive action.<\/p>\n

But that is exactly what is happening, as Red Bull has joined forces with the developers, and with the support of the wider Cities: Skylines community, to host the Red Bull Metropolis.<\/p>\n

The format will see competitors, all top content creators from the community, tasked with various city planning conundrums such as building an effective bike network or saving their city from a meteor falling from space. Each time-limited challenge will take place on custom-built maps and points will be awarded based on factors such as ingenuity, integration, and realism.<\/p>\n
