The new CitiesXL website is now live, and along with its new snazzy look comes the announcement of a forthcoming demo of the game to be released on September 8th. The demo will allow you to build cities using 3 of the 25 maps to be available at launch, and will also have a hard cap of 22,000 citizens, whereas the full game will allow for cities populated with millions of citizens.
