Developers Paradox Interactive today announced a new expansion pack for their transit strategy game Cities in Motion 2, entitle Marvellous Monorails.
According to the official press release:
In Marvellous Monorails, Cities in Motion 2 players can add five all-new monorail vehicles to their transit fleets, and give their cities a new look with elevated rails to carry them. Monorails, which work best on circular layouts, are ideal for inner-city connections, and offer a more affordable alternative to metro lines, with a choice of cars from big-and-slow to speedy-but-expensive.
In the same press release Paradox also revealed that the entire Cities in Motion franchise will be released for Linux computers.
“We believe in Linux as a platform for the future of gaming,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “Gamers who currently use Linux are a smart and demanding bunch, and they expect versatility and an experience that fits their personal preferences, which makes our games a great fit. We’re bringing Cities in Motion to Linux because we believe it’s just the type of game that Linux users will enjoy.”
Released in 2013, Cities in Motion 2 sees players given control of a city’s transport routes, assembling fleets of vehicles and engineering systems to improve their transit network.
