Cities XL, formerly known as Cities Unlimited, is the sequel to Monte Cristos' City Life. In June 2007, a screenshot of a new city building game from Monte Cristo was posted in Monte Cristo internet director Philippe Da Silva's personal blog,[1]. However, it was later told in a community website interview that it won't be called City Life 2 and that it is currently internally codenamed Cities Unlimited to avoid confusion.[2]
The new game will be likely to contain better graphics and more features taken from a thread asked on a City Life community earlier in the year. For example, it has been confirmed that Monte Cristo is working hard to eliminate the building repetition problem that plagued City Life. The developer has said it will focus on graphical and economical realism, transport, and variety through building numbers.[3] It has been stated that an official website will be opened in October with more information.
In an interview on September 11, 2007 Philippe Da Silva announced that Cities Unlimited would include a large variety of maps and landscapes, which would allow players a greater depth with the types of cities they wanted to create. Da Silver stated "We want players to be able to not only to create “classic cities” but also to specialize and build the Key West, Aspen or Detroits of this world." [4] A pre-released screen shot of an Aspen map confirmed that Cities Unlimited would include snowy landscapes.
