Deep Silver and System 3 today announced Constructor, a reimagining of the title first released in 1997, will be releasing digitally and physically for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on July 25th.
The embodiment of “construction meets corruption,” Constructor empowers the player as a budding property tycoon on a mission to build a successful city. This doesn’t just involve the speedy building of homes and businesses, however; players must negotiate the tangled web of Undesirables, a motley collection of reprobates that can be used against them – and by them, against others. Murder, arson, extortion, and sabotage are all tools at your disposal in this ultimate fight for power.
Gamers on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can sample Constructor in a free demo available now on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, allowing a full playthrough of the 40-minute tutorial, followed by 12 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay in the single-player mode, with unlimited replays available.
