City Block Builder, a new sim set in Los Angeles circa the 1950s, will soon be available via Early Access. Tentworks Interactive announced that it will be headed to Steam in September.
Described as a "mashup of deep tycoon management games with large-scale city building elements," City Block Builder sets it apart from other city-building sims by zeroing in on commerce. It casts the player as an ambitious entrepreneur who runs several businesses in Los Angeles just after the conclusion of World War II.
City Block Builder will allow you to decorate your business as you see it, choose the movies that play at your cinemas, and pick the menus at your restaurants. Your ultimate goal will be to build a bustling entertainment in the heart of a retro LA.
City Block Builder was first announced back in March. It is being developed and published by Tentworks Interactive, an India-based studio dedicated to resurrecting the tycoon and city-builder genre.
"We saw a chance to really build a tycoon/management game that could put both our tiny studio and India on the map," the studio says on its homepage. "We have now grown to a global team, with people from all around the world."
City Block Builder arrives on Steam Early Access on September 22. This new is part of our ongoing coverage of Gamescom 2021. Head to our Gamescom 2021 hub to see the rest of the event schedule and everything announced so far.
