Build Your Empire with Drug Production, Properties & New Jobs & Reworked City

The latest major update for The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire is available now!

This update expands how you build and manage your criminal organization with drug production, property ownership, new jobs, improved nightclub systems, and major gameplay improvements across the city.

Here’s what’s new.

🌿 Start Your Own Drug Operation

A new drug cultivation system has been added.

You can now find seeds around the city and grow them inside houses or hotel rooms that you own or rent.

Your plants require attention during the growing process. The better you care for them, the larger your harvest will be and more product means more profit for your empire.

You can also produce chemical drugs by purchasing a Lab Table. You must discover the correct formula, successfully complete the mini-games, and find the right cooking timing. Once you discover the correct formula, you can easily produce it repeatedly and supply the entire city.

Once you’re financially ready, you can expand your operation even further.

Experienced bosses can now establish undercover warehouse facilities, allowing drug production on a much larger scale.

🏠 Buy, Rent, and Expand Your Territory

Real estate is now an important part of building your empire.

You can now rent, buy, or lease:

  • Houses

  • Hotels

  • Apartments

These properties can serve as safehouses, production locations, or expansion points for your growing criminal network.

  • New car repair system

  • Sell stolen vehicles for profit

  • Trash pickup

This provides an additional way to keep the Police on your side.
