Industry Giant 4.0 was meant to be a grand return for a classic name in PC gaming history. The original pair of games, from Jowood Productions, harken back to the late '90s and early noughties, an era that brought us many of the best city builders and management sims - SimCity 3000, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Pharaoh, Tropico, Stronghold, and more. But this modern attempt to resurrect the Industry Giant name has now fallen short, as developer Don Vs Dodo and publisher Toplitz Productions suddenly confirm that the game's 1.0 launch will be its final update.

The heart of this update is focusing on the first iteration of the new line manager. With this change it is easier to create lines for your transport routes. You can create lines directly from an industry or the other way around from a shop. From an industry to a shop via the departure function and from a shop to an industry via the arrival function. We didn’t want to wait until we had the other changes for the line manager in the game, because we think it will push the game forward. Stay tuned for the other changes, including features as you know from the games predecessor like the order for
