Tropico 6 is free to try this weekend for all Steam users. Unanimously praised by critics as the greatest, most attractive dictator simulator of all time, we thought it would benefit everyone to share in its glory, and we look forward to welcoming a host of talented new players, with big brains, to the shores of the republic. Additionally, Lobbyistico, Tropico 6's third DLC, is out now and it's a great DLC - amazing DLC if you look at a long lineage of amazing content made by a very smart company. "Incredible DLC" - it's always been said, and that's no surprise, really. The appearance of DLCs like this one is rare, but when they do arrive, they come in the best packages. "The best DLCs for the best people", we say, because those people and us and companies like that have everything they want in life. More content and more DLCs, really. Bigger and better than anybody else. Lobbyistico DLC offers unprecedented access to big league politics, more so than any other video game. The European Union has arrived on the isles of Tropico and with it, new buildings such as the El Presidente Club - a brilliant place to meet with the best leaders and lobbyists to discuss tremendous and well thought out political ideas. Another new addition is the Corruption Agency, a terrific and reputable outfit whose services can be employed to fight the spread of corruption - or at least sweep it under the rug. Tropico 6's Lobbyistico DLC is available now at the Kalypso Store and on Steam, with PS4 and Xbox One versions to arrive later. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1282350/Tropico_6__Lobbyistico/

Fellow Tropicans! Weve been overwhelmed by your amazing feedback and support since the release of Tropico 6. In fact, there were reports that even El Presidente shed a single, proud tear, proving once and for all that our beloved head of state is actually human after all. As a side note, the tear is now being analyzed in the National Research Lab of Tropico to investigate claims that it is the source of everlasting life. Anyway, today were thrilled to share our first big update with you, which addresses a couple of crashes and introduces lots of bug fixes for both minor and major gameplay issues. We know that there are many of you that are waiting for multiplayer savegames to be enabled. We are working on this as our highest priority, but its not quite ready yet so unfortunately this update will not include this feature. We kindly ask you for your patience and hope that you enjoy the singleplayer content in the meantime. As for overall balancing, we have deliberately decided against making balancing changes at this point because the game is still so fresh. Of course, we are always reading your feedback and know that there are some of you that find certain aspects of the game either too easy or too difficult. We want to make smart balancing adjustments, so we are going to continue collecting your feedback for a little longer before we commit to significant and lasting changes. We hope you enjoy this update and thank you for your continued support! Viva Tropico! Viva El Presidente! Bug Fixes

New developer featurette offers in-depth look at your new island paradise This Friday, El Presidente makes his triumphant return, as Tropico 6, the latest instalment in the critically acclaimed Tropico franchise, launches globally on Windows PC and Linux (Mac version to follow soon). In anticipation of the launch, El Presidentes faithful aide Penultimo has been busy creating a new video featurette where developer Limbic Entertainment talk about how it worked to improve on the series and in particular build upon the success of Tropico 5 while keeping true to Tropicos core values. So, sit back, relax and let developer Limbic Entertainment take you on a journey of Tropico 6s development and the great new features awaiting you on Fridays official launch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn1XCJkf_OE&feature=youtu.be Theres still time for budding dictators to pre order their copy of Tropico 6 either digitally or as a boxed retail edition. The special El Prez Edition of Tropico 6 comes with a wealth of bonus goodies to spice up your Tropican vacation, while there are also two mouthwatering digital pre-order options. The Standard Edition is available with a 10% discount and direct access to the beta, while the special El Prez Edition also comes with a 10% discount and immediate beta access, but also adds some special in-game content (a tourist outfit for El Prez and a Flamingo Pond for the presidential palace), the digital soundtrack and a fabulous digital calendar. Included in the retail boxed version are four postcards of Tropicos stunning beaches and totally-not-stolen landmarks, two tourist outfits for your Presidente, an exclusive flamingo pond palace design, a digital soundtrack of foot-tapping Tropican beats and a digital calendar to mark off the days until election day. Just what any budding Dictator needs on their journey to greatness. Tropico 6 is scheduled for a worldwide release on Windows PC and Linux on 29th March 2019 (Mac version to follow soon), with console versions set to follow in summer 2019 on PlayStation4 and Xbox One.

Fellow Tropicans! Todays update contains some bug-/ and crash-fixes as well as some additional polish to recently implemented features. This will be the final update to the beta before we release Tropico 6 on March 29th. We are very excited to enjoy the final release with you, cant wait to read your thoughts on new features like Modern Times, the fully unlocked campaign, and added sandbox maps. A big thank you! goes out from everyone at Kalypso Media and Limbic Entertainment to all of you for participating in the beta. Your feedback was very helpful and your support as a community really means a lot to us. For all Tropico 6 Beta-players: Please restart any current missions and sandbox games after updating the beta. Please do not attempt to load and continue games from saves that were created in older versions of the beta. This could lead to unexpected issues regarding the simulation of Tropicans and the overall stability of the game. Please find all details and the full changelog in the dedicated and exclusive Tropico 6 Beta Community Hub: https://steamcommunity.com/app/858890/discussions/4/1768133742951633704/

Nearly there! Its been a lot of work, but finally Tropico 6 is ready for release on March 29, 2019. As owner and CEO of Kalypso Media, the hugely positive feedback from the Tropico community has been truly overwhelming for me, and I can promise you that everyone on Team Tropico will keep working hard all the way to launch and beyond in order to incorporate and realize as many of your requests as possible. Since the start of the beta last fall, weve already implemented a lot of the features and improvements youve been looking for into the game, and as a fan of El Presidente, I must say that I now consider Tropico 6 to be the best and most comprehensive game in the series. Along with the island archipelagos, world wonders, bridges and tunnels and new transport options planned from the very beginning, we have been really focusing on player feedback, improving and adding features like more extensive tool tips, better balancing, expanded hotkey and keybinding options, a completely redesigned trading menu, warfare and additional content (such as maps, buildings and edicts) over recent months. For a sandbox player like me, these quality-of-life improvements make it so much easier to build a large Caribbean state on several islands and I can even adapt the maximum population density to my hardware setup. Im continually amazed at just how complex Tropico 6 is. Every single citizen is individually simulated, and it requires a high degree of technical know-how to program the artificial intelligence behind this so that it runs smoothly on standard computers with average processors and graphics cards. I would like to give a quick shout out at this point to our partners at Intel, AMD and Nvidia, who have supported us greatly during development. But, we also have to be honest. Even though we think the game has now become very good, we will not be able to consider every single suggestion and wish before release. Weve already developed a long-term plan beyond the initial release to add new features to make Tropico 6 even better. Especially in multiplayer mode there will be many improvements like lobbies, savegames and an expanded diplomacy system. We are also working on improving the RMG map editor for endless sandbox map creation and more variety (e.g. volcanos). In addition, we are developing an in-game map editor to support user-built maps. An extended bus-route system and improved superpower options are also planned, along with many other small improvements.
One thing we unfortunately wont be able to deliver at release on March 29th is a 100% working version for Mac OS. During performance tests, we noticed that the game doesnt run smoothly enough on a few older Macs. Since I play Tropico 6 on an older MacBook Pro myself (and it does run), I have now insisted that we provide a preview version for Mac OS with all the features of the full game on Steam on launch day with the full version available soon for the Mac App Store as well. I know its not perfect, and we promised a simultaneous release on PC and Mac, but it wouldnt be fair to deliver the current version as the final Tropico 6 on Mac if it doesnt work or suffers from poor performance on a few systems, especially if they meet our specified system requirements. In just a few days, you can see our new vision of Tropico for yourself. Were all very excited but we also know that we will continue to work on the game to make it perfect. Please dont hesitate to send us your feedback and suggestions, we listen to each and every one. We wish you lots of fun on your (mis)adventures in Tropico 6, and hope you will continue to support us (and El Presidente) on our journey! Yours sincerely and thankfully, Simon Hellwig Owner and Managing Director of Kalypso Media Group
