Hong Kong, December 23, 2025 – For the dedicated digital moguls and aspiring economic titans, Capitalism Lab has just unleashed its post-release beta version 12.0.00.

This minor patch is a significant upgrade packed with new features designed to offer even greater depth, control, and realism to the acclaimed business simulation game. Could this be the version that truly cements its legendary status among economic simulators?

The headline feature, and arguably the most exciting for its loyal fanbase, is the ability to Import Your Own Custom Regional Maps. Players and modders have long pushed the boundaries of the game, particularly in the City Economic Simulation DLC.

Now, they have “full control over the terrain your cities will grow upon,” whether recreating real-world geography, designing fictional continents, or tailoring maps to specific gameplay styles.

This empowers a level of creativity and personalization previously unimaginable, potentially extending the game’s longevity for years.

Beyond the map editor, the developers at Enlight.com have clearly listened to their community. Direct Input for Prices and Numeric Fields streamlines micro-management. No more fiddling with sliders; players can now click directly on a product’s price field or other numeric fields to type in exact amounts, with hotkey support for rapid adjustments. This precision is invaluable in a game where every decimal point can impact profit margins.

The visual and analytical tools also get a boost. A New Graph Hover Feature allows players to instantly see precise values on most in-game graphs, eliminating guesswork and facilitating more informed decision-making.

The Build Firm Menu receives a fresh, modern redesign, defaulting to text mode but offering an icon mode for visual preference. These UI improvements, while seemingly small, contribute significantly to the overall user experience, making the complex simulation more accessible and intuitive.

Further refining management strategy, a New “Prefer Ordering from Own Warehouses” Slider offers granular control over COO policy. Previously a simple checkbox, this slider allows players to adjust the degree of preference for ordering from their own warehouses, providing nuanced strategic options for supply chain management.

These kinds of detailed controls are precisely what hardcore simulation fans crave.

For those new to the game or looking to expand their empire, the announcement also highlighted the rich ecosystem of DLCs.

The Subsidiary DLC expands empires into the lucrative banking and insurance industries, introducing bonds, global stocks, and advanced financial strategies.

The Service Industry DLC allows for the building of shopping malls and various service firms.

Meanwhile, the City Economic Simulation DLC (where the custom maps truly shine) transforms players into entrepreneurial mayors building cities and shaping public policy.

And for tech enthusiasts, the Digital Age DLC offers a chance to build a tech startup from infancy to titan status.

Capitalism Lab continues to solidify its reputation as an unparalleled economic simulator. With this beta version 12.0, it’s not just about adding features; it’s about empowering players with unprecedented control and realism, ensuring that the only limit to their economic empire is their own strategic prowess.
