RoadCraft is OUT!!

🏗️ RoadCraft is OUT NOW! The time to rebuild has begun!

Check out the Launch Trailer over there:

When we were kids, a pile of dirt and a couple of toy trucks were all we needed to build entire worlds.
We’d dig roads, push little vehicles around, make up stories of construction sites and rebuilding adventures.

Today, that spirit is back... with RoadCraft!

Storms have passed, fires are out and now it’s time to bring life back to broken regions.
You’ll restore roads, clear debris, reconnect towns, and rebuild industry across 8 massive maps, from green forests to dry highlands and desert heat.

But here’s the thing: there’s no one way to do it.
You decide how to fix things in RoadCraft. Want to lay down a straight road or build a roundabout? It’s your call.

You’ve got 40+ machines to help: cranes, haulers, bulldozers, scouts, roadwork and logging gear and more! 🚜

And you’re not alone. Bring friends. Up to 4 players, with crossplay, voice chat, and shared progression. 🤝

Everyone builds, everyone counts.

Maybe this isn’t just about fixing roads. Maybe it’s about building something that lasts.
Something we build together.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.

Roadcraft review - one of this year's best games, easily better than Snowrunner

It almost feels like a risk to be so enthusiastic and so openly impressed with Roadcraft. This is a game about trucks and steamrollers, designed in such a way that, if you commit to playing it, it will require you to spend dozens of real hours pretending to build virtual roads. If somebody who doesn't know about or especially care for videogames looks at Grand Theft Auto or Doom, it's nevertheless likely that the appeal of those games makes an immediate kind of sense - you can tell why somebody would enjoy those. If you're comfortably passionate about Roadcraft, and why its abstraction of driving heavy-goods vehicles and using them to construct bridges and other infrastructure is so meaningful, so enjoyable, people might think that you're either joking, embellishing, or in the grip of a fixation. Nevertheless, Roadcraft is one of the best games of this year.

RoadCraft review: Streamlined building biz beset by bumbling AI Bobs

It’s getting close to 10PM on a Friday night.

Last year, Saber Interactive impressed me with their game: Expeditions, A MudRunner Game. A game primarily focused on driving various types of off-road vehicles and using them to explore different maps to accomplish varying types of missions and goals. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing it, Saber Interactive have continued to capture my attention, this time with their newest release RoadCraft, a similar style game that steps it up a notch by adding a construction element to it.

Early on, you learn you will be tasked with rebuilding roads and structures to take you and your fleet of vehicles after floods or other various natural disasters have occurred. You will be required to not only scout out the area to keep supplies running, but clear the path and eventually building roads, as per the name RoadCraft.

Players will find them using a wide array of vehicles from various types of offroad trucks, dozers, cranes and haul trucks to accomplish various goals, all having... Read more

Get ready for RoadCraft!

Hello everyone!

We’re less than a week away from RoadCraft’s release, so it’s the perfect time for us to quickly recap all the information regarding the game!

RoadCraft is developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment. You might have seen these 2 names in various other games, such as SnowRunner or Expeditions. But is RoadCraft similar to these 2? Not at all!

In RoadCraft, you run a disaster recovery company. Your job? Restore regions hit by natural disasters and get local industry back on its feet. Of course, it’s not just about repairing. RoadCraft allows a freedom of action that lets you decide how you want to complete objectives. With over 40 machines available at launch, you’ll find a vehicle for every task.

If you want to see more gameplay, you can find 10 minutes of raw gameplay here, or a dozen of short videos presenting various gameplay aspects in this playlist.

RoadCraft pushes the Swarm Engine even further from its predecessors. Many things have been improved from the previous games, and many challenges were overcome to obtain the game we’re about to launch. If you’re interested in this particular topic, our Game Director covered it in a devblog.

During the Steam Next Fest, we released a playable demo to showcase the main features of the game. We’ve been happy to read your feedback, and follow them, as we can already tell that we added a driver model and 2 additional control schemes for the cranes. We’ve also added additional settings to help adjust the sensitivity of the controls when operating the cranes.

We’ll be monitoring your feedback closely, as we strongly believe that you can help us improve the game even more. You can leave your ideas on Focus Together here.

With 8 massive maps available at launch, RoadCraft offers dozens of gameplay hours, fully playable in 4-player co-op, with built-in voice chat and crossplay. 2 other additional maps will be added during the year as part of the Rebuild Expansion.

Speaking of which, RoadCraft is available to pre-order in Standard Edition (which contains the base game) and the Rebuild Edition. With the Rebuild Edition, you’ll have access, in addition to the base game, to the Rebuild Expansion and to an exclusive scout, the Invictus Type A. The Rebuild Expansion brings 2 new maps, new contracts, new activities and new vehicles available after the game’s release.

Regardless of the Edition you pre-order, you’ll receive the Aramatsu Bowhead 30T as a pre-order bonus!

That’s it for this quick summary before the release of RoadCraft! You can find a more detailed FAQ here if you’re looking for additional info.

The game releases May 20th, and we can’t wait to see you crafting crazy roads!
