Oberhaching, Germany – Development studio Don VS Dodo and publisher Toplitz Productions proudly announce that Industry Giant 4.0 releases into Steam Early Access today. After more than 20 years, one of the cult franchises at the turn of the millennium is back with a vengeance.

Build dozens of industries, expand infrastructure, introduce production chains from resource gathering up to end consumer sales, keep an eye on your company’s finances and directly impact the growth of the cities in the vicinity: Those are the core components of Industry Giant, embraced by gamers for decades.

The fascination of those components and the underlying challenging business simulation rings true until today. But t Don VS Dodo, the studio responsible for development, addresses a wider audience than only the franchise veterans. “Of course we are aware of the cult status that the franchise achieved” says Matthias Lutz, co-founder of Don VS Dodo and game producer. “But with Industry Giant 4.0 we rely on much more than sheer nostalgia or cult status. Our re-imagining of the classic gameplay is based on the franchise’s core principles, but modernizes all elements without sacrificing depth. We are convinced that both veterans as well as newcomers to business simulations will enjoy the game.”
