Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive officially announced the upcoming launch of their construction simulation game, RoadCraft, set to release on May 20, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This announcement accompanied the reveal of a new gameplay overview trailer, stirring anticipation among simulation and disaster recovery enthusiasts alike.
Set against the backdrop of various disaster-stricken environments, RoadCraft allows players to step up as leaders of disaster recovery operations. Your mission? To deploy fleets of heavy machinery, clear debris, reactivate dormant industries, and rebuild the all-important infrastructure—like roads and bridges—that communities rely on.
Unveiling the game's mechanics, the recent trailer highlighted how players will navigate challenges ranging from floods to relentless sandstorms, employing innovative construction strategies to restore affected areas. "Your mission is to deploy an impressive fleet of construction vehicles to clear debris, reactivate dormant factories, and rebuild..." explained Focus Entertainment, emphasizing the real-world importance of rebuilding efforts.
Players can expect to manage resources effectively, guiding transport trucks along mapped routes and avoiding obstacles to streamline recovery processes. This advanced simulation experience builds upon Saber Interactive's prior successes with the MudRunner and SnowRunner franchises, and it introduces players to its first dedicated heavy-machinery simulation.
Notably, pre-orders for RoadCraft are already open, offering two distinct editions. The Standard Edition includes the base game and provides access to the exclusive DLC vehicle, the Aramatsu Bowhead 30T—a heavy dump truck equipped with a 360-degree rotating base, ideal for various construction tasks. Meanwhile, the Rebuild Edition offers players the base game, the Rebuild Expansion (a DLC slated to feature new maps, missions, and vehicles), alongside the Invictus Type A scout vehicle.
“Players can choose between two editions of RoadCraft, both available to pre-order today,” stated Saber Interactive, highlighting the excitement surrounding the game’s launch. Not only does the Rebuild expansion promise to extend players' immersive experiences, but it is also set to introduce two new maps filled with additional missions and utilities for players to explore.
The community can look forward to substantial DLC content planned throughout the year, ensuring continuous engagement and fresh challenges within RoadCraft. The promotional approach invites aspiring disaster recovery managers to start their operations early and participate directly in shaping the game’s development through community engagement initiatives.
With its blend of strategy, resource management, and immersive construction gameplay, RoadCraft is poised to become the go-to simulation for enthusiasts eager to experience the thrill of rebuilding after disasters. Interested gamers are encouraged to visit Steam, the PlayStation Store, or the Microsoft Store for pre-ordering options.
Anticipation is running high for what is set to be one of the most engaging simulation titles of 2025, and with its unique concept focusing on disaster recovery, RoadCraft isn't just another addition to the genre; it promises to bring players face-to-face with the real-world challenges of recovery and rebuilding.
