Publisher astragon Entertainment has laid the groundwork and is ready to start putting the foundations in for Construction Simulator 4, which will be heading to Switch on 28th May.
With a title like that, we're sure that you can imagine what this sim might entail. Would you believe us if we said that there was construction? Well, you better, because there's a lot of it.
The fourth entry brings an extensive single-player campaign and over 100 jobs our way — covering everything from laying roads to building lighthouses. There's plenty of machinery to get to grips with too (over 80 machines from 20 iconic manufacturers, would you believe) and you can even try them out with a building buddy in some of the game's 10 multiplayer jobs.
All of this takes place amongst the pines, lakes and cabins of developer Independent Arts Software's Canadian-inspired landscape. The visuals look just about as you would expect from this kind of sim, but as long as the building mechanics feel tight, we suppose there's not too much to be surprised at. See for yourself in the following screenshots:
The game will be heading to the Switch eShop in May for £29.99 / €34.99 / $34.99 and worry not, a boxed version is also on its way for those who really want to showcase their construction passion.
Will you be picking up Construction Simulator 4 later this year? Let us know in the comments.

How many Nlifers have worked on an IRL construction site? 👋
@-wc- Many years ago when I was 16 I did work placement if that counts, even got to drive/excavate using one of these: https://compactequip.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/john-deere-50p-excavator.jpg
Maybe it's just the mood I'm in today, but I'd rather have a Demolition Simulator. Although we do have Blast Corps now. I also yearn for the sheer joy of destroying the entire level in those Earth Defense Force games. Although, of course, in order to smash the heck out of something, it needs to be constructed first. Hmmmm. Heaven knows what I'm getting at. I should probably go back to bed. 😆
@JimNorman "Can we fix it?" Construction isn't fixing, Jim! The fixing begins the day after the construction is "complete"! 😉
"This will be the first time that the series has popped up on Switch"
Wrong. Construction Simulator 2+3 were released in October 2020 and were received quite well.
@ozwally
absolutely counts! I was on a site as a young teen as well 👍 cheers!
PS - operating small heavy equipment is kind of a blast as a kid! I used a skid steer a few times, exactly like this:

@Ooyah
LOL in my experience, construction is a painful process of constantly making mistakes and fixing daily disasters, til you cant take it anymore and call it done 😅
@-wc- nice, I bet that was tricky to drive at first
Probably illegal we were driving those things so young but hey ho
@ozwally
LOL I was thinking the same... here in Oklahoma it's a bit of the "wild west" as far as work regulations go. I'm a 38 y.o. finish carpenter now and there's still just about one rule: "go fast and don't you dare hurt yourself!" 😂
@-wc- I'm a Construction Project Manager.
@-wc- Im 16 and work at a pizza place in Texas.
Thats really cool that u did carpenter stuff. I got an uncle up in colorado, he does carpenter things too!
@marandahir niceeeeeee
@ThatZeldaNerd
thanks!
to be fair, i wasnt a carpenter yet back then! i mostly hauled rocks, dug holes, and fetched tools 😂 then, I worked a bunch of BS jobs through my 20s and I didnt get into finish carpentry until i was going on 30.
youre holding down a job at 16 (and iirc just barely 16,) that speaks to your character and ability. not everyone can do that, at any age! dont feel rushed to "find your place," you've got time. 😊✌️
@marandahir
hi hello!
Is that like a foreman? ✌️ cheers
@-wc- yoo thx man! 😀
@-wc- Some Foremen have to be CPMs, but my job is actually from the client side. I work for the Greatest City in the World managing contractors and keeping them on budget, on schedule, and performing the world legally and safely and following best management practices. My work is focused on natural areas construction and restoration, rebuilding wetlands and grasslands and forests, but also on green infrastructure and street tree planting, but people in my job title often work on building construction jobs as well.
@marandahir
wow that sounds like fine work! ✌️😀
