Paradox is giving Cities: Skylines a sci-fi cousin set on Mars

Paradox Interactive has explored the history of Europe and the future of galactic politics, but now it’s working with developer Haemimont Games to show one of the steps between those two extremes.

The publisher announced today that it is bringing the game Surviving Mars to its PDXCON fan event in Stockholm this weekend. Surviving Mars from Haemimont is a colony-management sim where players must build and then maintain a habitat on the barren red planet. The game is due out in 2018 for PC, Mac, and Linux as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
