Cities: VR also aims to bring over the “core gameplay elements”, while “offering a unique approach to the simulation through VR.” Does that mean it’s Skylines but in VR, or does that mean it’s a substantially different game but with the core of building cities? I’ve no idea, and there’s only little real game footage in the trailer.

Lastly, it’s being developed for Meta Quest 2, née Oculus Quest 2, and thus far not confirmed for any other headset.

That’s a lot of caveats, but I do like the trailer anyway, and I am interested in playing a citybuilder in VR. Throwing up some buildings in Cities: Skylines and then using mods to view it in different ways - in first-person, or from a train, say - is great fun, so I assume stomping around like a VR Godzilla would be, too. Cities: VR is aiming to release next year.
