Newly formed dev outfit 1:1 Studio have announced their first game, a glossy citybuilder that, appropriately, promises “true 1:1 scale” construction across enormous 24x24km maps. City Masterplan doesn’t have a release date, but it does have a Steam page that’s full of feelgood marketing bumf like “Say goodbye to rigid grid constraints” and sensual whispers of “realistic traffic simulation.”
Less titillating than all this talk of logistic networks and architectural asset libraries are the currently listed system requirements, of which key minimum specs are “Pending” while the recommended specs list luxury gear like the RTX 3090, Radeon RX 6900 XT, and Ryzen 7 58000X3D. That’s… bold, given the sluggish performance of Cities: Skylines 2 went down about as well as a sewage works-adjacent apartment block with inadequate road access.
