“Stadiums: European Club Pack.” Cities: Skylines, the award-winning city-building game from developer Colossal Order, was updated this summer with the ability for players to add sports arenas to their growing digital demesnes. Now, with the European Club Pack, those stadiums can play host to players’ favorite real-life football clubs, taking on the appearance of their home stadiums from the real world. The European Club Pack includes the stadiums, colors, and logos of Football Club Barcelona, Chelsea Football Club, Juventus Football Club, and Paris Saint-Germain, and is available today for $5.99. The European Club Pack works in concert with the free “Match Day” expansion which was released for free in June 2016, which allows players to build massive sports venues into their cities and reap added revenue while handling the new challenges of game-day traffic. Now, in-game crowds can flock to see their favorite football clubs in action and enjoy a day at the arena in style.
