Before Building Big, Demolish the Old with Joy!
In the new demolition gameplay of Construction Simulator: Evolution, players will be able to drive and use officially licensed construction machinery and professional attachments from both new and existing licensing partners. Players must choose the appropriate equipment for different building materials to complete various demolition tasks.
This includes the SENNEBOGEN 670 E equipped with a drop hammer, the hydraulic Combi Cutter CC 1600 U combination shear with universal jaws from Epiroc, and handheld breakers from Wacker Neuson.
Facing demolition targets of different materials, choosing the right machinery and attachments will be key to completing the job. Whether operating large construction machinery to directly demolish buildings or picking up tools personally to handle more detailed work, players will have more ways to complete engineering tasks.
Live Demo Available at Gamescom
Attendees of this year's Gamescom will be able to personally experience the new demolition gameplay of Construction Simulator: Evolution.
Players can visit the astragon Entertainment booth in Hall 6 to try out the game. In addition to a live demo of Construction Simulator: Evolution, the booth will feature a real Volvo excavator, allowing heavy machinery enthusiasts to experience realistic heavy equipment up close.
