Build the city of your dreams, and your graphics card's nightmares, in hyper-shiny mayoral sim City Masterplan

Newly formed dev outfit 1:1 Studio person announced their archetypal game, a glossy citybuilder that, appropriately, promises "true 1:1 scale" operation crossed tremendous 24x24km maps. City Masterplan doesn’t person a merchandise date, but it does person a Steam leafage that’s afloat of feelgood selling bumf similar "Say goodbye to rigid grid constraints" and sensual whispers of "realistic postulation simulation."

Less titillating than each this speech of logistic networks and architectural plus libraries are the presently listed strategy requirements, of which cardinal minimum specs are "Pending" portion the recommended specs database luxury cogwheel similar the RTX 3090, Radeon RX 6900 XT, and Ryzen 7 58000X3D. That’s... bold, fixed the sluggish show of Cities: Skylines 2 went down astir arsenic good arsenic a sewage works-adjacent flat artifact with inadequate roadworthy access.

City Masterplan, if it could physique itself a mouth, would astir apt reply that it needs each that PC powerfulness for its plus-size representation bounds and comparatively intricate street-level detailing. The mayoral simming besides extends to managing "realistic proviso chains" to "ensure resources tin smoothly enactment the monolithic appetite of your city," truthful citizens volition request much than parks, schools, jobs, and Unreal Engine 5 lighting tech to support saccharine with your citybuilding regime.

With the caveat that I can't assertion to beryllium a peculiarly accomplished subordinate of these kinds of games – I volition not beryllium taking questions connected however my effort astatine a Skylines 2 municipality had worse energy entree than astir of agrarian Australia – I’m struggling to spot however City Masterplan has a standout gimmick successful the aforesaid mode that, say, Nova Roma does with its vengeful deity attacks. Even I’m definite I’ve seen freely bendable roads successful different CMS games, and portion the imaginable of consistent, 1:1 gathering sizes should delight anyone who rolls their eyes erstwhile their caller schoolhouse has the aforesaid footprint arsenic a atomic powerfulness plant, it’s inactive a hard merchantability erstwhile the asking terms is an RTX 3090. It’s evidently inactive a ways disconnected launching, mind, truthful those recommended specs could little successful time.
