The achievements for Cities Skylines II have been released ahead of the game’s launch. There are 40 achievements available, each with a specific goal to accomplish, and none of them are secret. These achievements range from creating a basic city with residential, commercial, and industrial zones, to more complex tasks like unlocking all city services or reaching a population of 100,000.
To unlock all 40 achievements, players will need to complete tasks such as experiencing different weather events like hailstorms, tornadoes, and forest fires, as well as building various signature buildings, transport lines, and city districts. Additionally, players must achieve specific ratings, such as an average happiness rating of 75% or a city attractiveness rating of 90.
The achievements cover a range of aspects related to city-building, such as energy usage, education levels, and the number of parks and trees in the city. Some of the achievements also require using the game’s editor to create custom assets or maps. Players will need to carefully plan their cities and make use of various city policies to achieve some of the more challenging goals.
