Legacy Metropolis is our vision for a city builder where growth is about more than placing roads and watching a skyline rise. We want players to design, grow and manage a living city whose neighbourhoods, economy, infrastructure and identity evolve over time.
The project now sits alongside Legacy Eleven and Legacy Racing in the Legacy Interactive portfolio, with Legacy Eleven remaining in active development while Legacy Racing and Legacy Metropolis move through planning.
A city that works as a system
Planning will focus on the systems that make a city feel interconnected. Transport choices should influence where people can live and work. Housing should respond to demand, affordability and the character of individual districts. Public services should have real operational consequences rather than existing as simple coverage bonuses.
Districts will be more than visual boundaries. The ambition is for different parts of the city to develop their own purpose, pressures and identity as your decisions shape density, land use, investment and connectivity.
Build the economy, not just the skyline
The economy will sit at the centre of city management. Jobs, businesses, taxation, services, infrastructure and development will need to work together, forcing players to balance growth with the cost of supporting it.
A successful city should feel earned. Expanding too quickly, underinvesting in transport or allowing housing and services to fall behind should create consequences that can be seen across the city and felt by the people living in it.
Your decisions should leave a mark
As with every Legacy Interactive game, persistence and history are fundamental to the concept. The goal is for the city to remember what you built: old districts beside new developments, transport corridors that reshape growth, neighbourhoods transformed by investment and a skyline that becomes a record of decades of decisions.
Legacy Metropolis is at the beginning of that process, and there is a great deal still to design. But the direction is clear: a deep city-building experience where transport, housing, services, districts and the economy combine to create a city that feels alive.
