Greetings, El Presidente!

I have an egg-citing idea just in time for Easter festivities!

Picture this: Bunnies behind the wheel, cruising the streets of Tropico. Now, I know what you're thinking, El Presidente: Penultimo, have you lost your marbles? Bunnies driving cars in Tropico?

Fear not! This is just an egg-celent suggestion, a dream of what could be. But oh, just imagine that! Bunnies zipping around, delivering coconuts instead of eggs for a small fee, of course. And you can tell them where to drive (even through your political enemies buildings)!

Truly, the future of Tropico knows no bounds!



Felices Pascuas!

Tropico 6 5th Anniversary!

Turn up the Tropico music, fetch your chonky llama balloons and celebrate with us and the whole Palace team: Happy 5th Birthday to Tropico 6!

In the 5 years since release, El Prez made Tropico great again with many new free landmarks like the Moonlander, new buildings like the Overwatch Tower, maps for multiplayer & sandbox mode, and whole new scenarios in 7 full DLCs. And he continues to improve! His reign might only be 5 years old, but he's already shown off such incredible power (and such a lush beard)!



We want to especially thank YOU for legitimately voting for El Prez for 5 years. You, the loyal community, are the reason why El Presidente can be the leader for so long (not just because of his rigged elections *COUGH*) and you are the reason we want to continue making Tropico even greater.

Long live El Prez and long live every one of you who carries their own El Prez in their heart heres to many more Tropican years to come!

Its Christmas here in Tropico! Of course, Penultimo is slaving away working at the Palace while El Prez enjoys his Christmas break Whats this popping up on Penultimos Tropicair 8800 PC? An e-mail from El Santa!



Dear Penultimo,

Most important question first: Have you written my Christmas speech yet? The deadline is today! And dont you dare include something about how Im going to distribute presents among the Tropicans as El Santa. I guess I can be convinced, as long as I get a llama sled but dont buy it with my Swiss bank account! Anyways, Im going to go on a Christmas vacation to the North Pole soon. I hear they have lots of free space where I could build some houses for my political friends to reside in. But no heating, thats too expensive, oh deer!

I dont know if youre going to take great care of all business matters while Im away but I know youre getting fired if you dont!

Happy Holidays,
El Santa.

Ahhh, what would Christmas be without an ever-present El Presidente watching over you? The Presidential Palace and El Presidentes Community Team Freeky, Kaarl and Lunareiya as well as the entire Tropico 6 team wishes you merry Christmas and happy holidays and remember: Keep voting for El Prez!

Tropicans!

El Presidente is thrilled to be in the running for this years Steam Awards, and demands nothing less than absolute success for Tropico.
He has run his beloved island for 4 years now and spread terro- uhm, free content with his 21 Updates since the release. Featuring new buildings like the Dungeon Entrance, maps, edicts, landmarks and languages. And with the recently added modding support for PC, he expresses his infinite love to YOU (as long as you vote for him!)

Want to give love back to your favourite Presidente? Vote Tropico 6 as 'Labor of Love'or else!

Vote El Prez!
Or else...

A devious case of missing Tropicans
Mastermind and Detective par excellence, El Presidente, has noticed his citizens have started to go missing and has sent his best intern Penultimo to investigate the case.
After a week of thorough research and Tropican-Stalking, Penultimo has sent back 2 pieces of evidence, which hint towards a foreign invasion of Tropico, whose ultimate evil powers seem to be luring harmless citizens on Dungeon Tours and turning them into weird little green things.




Rumor has it, the master of said Dungeon has come to challenge El Presidentes position as the worlds greatest dictator. Penultimo promised to infiltrate said Dungeon, but has yet to return.

In the meantime, you can now build your own 4th Dungeon Entrance in Tropico 6!

In case you too would like to join the evil forces, you can hop into the Dungeon and find out more here:

Moddico Libertad - El Presidente releases Modding!

El Presidente and Penultimo (mostly El Presidente) have also decided to bestow emergency powers of creating and playing in-game mods to the masses.

Tropico 6 - An Update on Modding

Dear Tropicans,

after a bit of silence, we have an update for you regarding our Tropico 6 modding plans.

Weve been busy behind the scenes improving the modkit based on feedback from our modding workshop, and now we are ready for the next step: (You might have already seen it - ) the mod kit is now publicly available - free to download and try.

We have also opened up the modding workshop area of our Discord server, so you can access the download link for the modkit, any information shared during the workshop and have discussions with fellow modders. You can join our discord server via discord.gg/kalypsomedia.

Please note: You do not have to own Tropico 6 in order to use the mod kit. For now you can use this to create mods, but the functionality to use existing mods, is not yet implemented into the game as we are currently still working on this and discussing some details.

More details will follow as we move forward. Stay tuned.

El Presidente announces Modding Edict! - News for a select group of Tropicans

Dear Tropicans,

The Tropican Ministry of World Domination and Garden Plots (short: The TM of WoDoGaP) is spilling the beans for you, our Community.

The Ministry of Development and Binary Magic is working closely with the new TM of WoDoGaP and are looking for Tropicans who feel capable of assisting El Presidente in making Tropico the greatest nation there has ever been.

El Presidente has decided to approve official modding support and YOU can be one of the first to actually create an El Presidente approved Tropico 6 Mod and let your imagination run wild.

Our Tropico 6 Team is currently planning to start an exclusive workshop with the Operation Garden Gnome' Modding Workshop. For this, we want to recruit a small group of Binary Magicians who have some previous experience with modding, programming or asset creation, to participate in our workshop and try the Operation Garden Gnome' Tools firsthand.
Please keep in mind, that you would be working with the actual developer tools and not an editor. In this test run, you will receive access to our in-development toolkit prior to its official launch, as well as an exclusive closed section of our Discord hub with videos and direct support from our dev and our CM team.

When is all of this happening and how do I participate?

If you would like to participate, please apply via email to modding@kalypsomedia.com with a link to 1-3 examples of your previous modding work along with your Discord tag, so we can invite you to the server and grant you access to the exclusive area for the workshop as well as the toolkit.

Applications will close on the 18th of April, so if you want to take part in this next step for Tropico 6, please make sure to drop us an email before that day.

The workshop will officially kick off on April 26th.

We know that modding is something the community really wishes for, and we see how much value it adds to a game; be that by allowing the community to express themselves creatively or feel involved in expanding the games they love.

We want to support the community with our Operation Garden Gnome in taking the first steps with our modding tools, and to provide the opportunity to create the Tropico you want. To honor the Binary Magicians who put a lot of time and effort into creating mods for the community, we will be spotlighting your awesome mods on our channels and giving the modders special discord roles as badges of honor for their hard work.

Sincerely yours,
The Tropican Ministry of Development and Binary Magic and The Tropican Ministry of World Domination and Garden Plots

Update 20 Hotfix #1

With Hotfix 1 on Steam, Epic and GOG, we have now fixed some issues occurring with Update 20 in Tropico 6, such as all Tropicans turning male when loading a savegame after Update 20.
We are currently working on bringing the Hotfix to the other platforms and will release it as soon as possible. We are also still working on the other reported issues.

Please stay tuned.

• Fixed an issue, where all citizens became male after loading the game.
  (Please note: Savegames which are affected by this issue cannot be restored to their original state and will start with an all-male population. However, women will be able to immigrate to Tropico again. Newly created savegames as well as older ones from before Update 20 are not affected, so please use an old savegame or start a new one.)
  
• Fixed an issue, where special citizens disappeared in the Almanac and criminal roles became hidden after loading the game.
  
• Added sound when selecting the Eternal Flame.
  
• [Festival] Fixed the Customer Service edict sometimes not being applied correctly.
  
• [Lobbyistico] Fixed a quest that did not accept the Eternal Flame as objective.

We wish you all a wonderful Easter weekend with lots of Swiss ba- uhm, we mean, lots of easter eggs, delivered directly by El Presidente this year! (Penultimo is busy elsewhere )

And dont worry, El Prez will transform back to his old fluff-free self in 3 days when he descends from the Tropican heavens and brings glory to Tropico again!

El Prez in class? - Tropico as a case study at university


[h3]Find out how the University of Warsaw incorporated Tropico 5 in their classes in the field of Political Science and International Studies[/h3]



Jacek Zikowski, Assistant Professorat the Department of Political Theory and Political Thought from the Faculty of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Warsaw and Piotr Rutkowski, MA, have been conducting innovative classes for students of Political Science, Internal Security and other departments (e.g., part of general university classes) and have included computer games and gamification mechanisms in education since 2013. This semester, the software used included our city building and political simulation game, Tropico 5! For which, we at Kalypso Media were thrilled to provide some keys for educational use. Of course, its known worldwide that El Presidente has a PhD in AwesomenessTM!




[h3]The research team at University Warsaw kindly took some time to answer our questions about the classes and incorporating Tropico 5 into them: [/h3]


You successfully included Tropico 5 in your political science lectures. What makes Tropico 5 a useful tool for teaching in your field, in your opinion?

Piotr Rutkowski: Tropico 5 in my view is a strategy game and very interesting social reality simulator with a slightly humorous tone, which engages the players all the more and develops all their competences. It is an ideal game for our classes, as it allows students to develop something that Professor Zikowski and I call political imagination.


How do you define political imagination and how does this manifest in Tropico 5?

Piotr Rutkowski: It is the awareness of multidimensionality, multilevelness of social reality, realizing that decisions in one aspect affect all others, that dilemmas do not have a perfect solution. In Tropico 5 we find all the features that allow us to achieve this we have economic, political and international elements that the student must deal with at the same time while playing the game, and each decision has consequences for what will happen next.

Decision-making is a key issue here, and in the entire course, one of the goals is to improve the optimization of decisions (as competencies) from the perspective of goals assumed by students. Tropico 5 also offers many possibilities here. The idea behind the classes is that the students, having familiarized themselves with the game, play a multiplayer session, where they will be able to specify what is important to them and what attitude they will adopt - will they help each other, or will they be competitive? Each of these approaches will require different priorities while dealing with day-to-day management.

In addition to purely practical values, our classes and Tropico 5 have a self-reflection function. They enable students to get to know themselves and their approach to tasks and problems. Choosing a cooperative or competitive approach, with no predetermined goals from our instructors, tells us a lot about ourselves and our societies.




So, what can students take away and learn from Tropico 5?

Professor Jacek Zikowski: Thanks to Tropico 5, students acquire competencies and skills that are very much needed on today's labor market. It is a very good complement to traditional forms of teaching. I especially notice this as the head of Internal Security studies. All this is maintained in a young people-friendly environment of computer hardware and computer software, as well as using role-playing, which strengthens learning outcomes and makes students enjoy classes. Tropico 5 has a lot of mechanics that enable the acquisition of competences necessary on the labour market.

The basis here is the optimization of the decision-making process from the perspective of the player's goals, but also those proposed by the game. Secondly, these decisions are subject to the functioning of the player with a deficit of resources and a deficit of time. Thirdly, we have elements of crisis management in the form of unexpected events, cataclysms. Most importantly, players cannot forget about any of the aspects, because the game can remind us at the least expected moment and teach us from mistakes (rebellion, superpower attack or lost elections).


How does this translate into reality?

Professor Jacek Zikowski: Tropico 5 adequately reflects the realities of the social world and what students will have to deal with in everyday life as managers, employees in private economy or political institutions and even politicians. I would like to mention that after each game we discuss the players' feelings, their approaches, strategies, decision-making processes, doubts, problems they encountered, which makes them reflect on their decision-making processes in front of themselves and their colleagues, which further strengthens competences they acquire by playing games such as Tropico 5. We are very excited about cooperation with Kalypso Media and using Tropico 5 in our classes.


Wed like to thank Professor Jacek Zikowski and Piotr Rutkowski for taking the time to explain their approach and to provide us with some images of the practical implementation of Tropico 5 into their classes! If you want to read more, head over to their Facebook post.

Another NEW FREE Landmark unlocked!

Dear Tropicans,

a new landmark, the Great Wall of China, has just unlocked for you all in Tropico 6 for PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

When El Presidente reached the moon, he was shocked to discover that the greatest nation of all time, TROPICO, was not visible from up there. This is, of course, a colossal, inexcusable mistake by Penultimo that must be corrected immediately.

To solve this annoyance, El Presidente demands you to steal- uhm borrow the landmark for an indefinite period of time, now! This wall even has the beneficial side effect of making it easier for our loyal Tropicans to live happily ever after (and dont leave Tropico, ever)!

To prevent rocks from coming loose and endangering the safety of the Tropicans, Penultimo also has been ordered to walk the 21,000 km route every day on a trial basis.

Definitely NOT a punishment for his embarrassing failure!!



The new landmark The Great Wall of China is now available on PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

The MESSIah has arrived in Tropico 6: a new free landmark, The Christo Redentor, has been unlocked today!



presidente In the beginning, El Presidente created heaven and the Earth. Then he gathered all his llamas and preached the good news to all creation: Christ is born in Tropico!
steamhappy Jesus is coming to town!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Merry Pre-Christmas, Tropicans!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The landmark is now available on PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Tropican Horror Stories

[h3]'Welcome to Tropico Hill' A chilling adventure of Penultimo[/h3]

After Penultimo comes back to Tropico from his meetings with the Tropican Ministry of International Affairs and Legally Stolen Landmarks (where he does all the hard work for El Presidente, even without a pay rise), he is welcomed by an unusual sightIt is not the Tropico he knows, the whole precious island of El Presidente is covered in fog and wait a minute where are all the people? All the beloved citizens that always voluntarily vote for El Presidente?



Penultimos fear reaches another level as he steps into what seems like ketchup but isnt. Penultimo runs further down the muddy street looking for any kind of help, until he sees a sign that says: Welcome to Tropico Hill. What could that mean? Penultimo tries to pull himself together and thinks of El Presidente. He must make sure his favourite ruler is safe! As he walks deeper and deeper into the fog, his spine-tingling sensation becomes more apparent. It is clear that the cause for this is not the coldness which has suddenly engulfed the whole Tropican town, but the indescribable, horrifying noises from afar. It sounds like tower bells that express some kind of anger from something, or someone



Penultimo feels repulsed and tries to shun the sounds but he seems to be getting closer to it, closer to the madness. Hee sees nothing but a foggy Tropico. Are the sounds all just in his head? And suddenly, like his subconscious mind wants to emerge from its furtive hideout, Penultimos fears manifest themselves. In front of him, a creature that seems like a regular human, stops him on his journey. On the creatures head is something rather peculiar it is not a normal human head but is pyramid shaped. His presence feels like it existed in this world since time immemorial and as it draws nearer, Penultimo is stunned like a helpless lama. With each step, the creature emits a hideous, unbearable sound that scratches the inner mechanisms of Penultimos mind.



On the verge of madness, Penultimo notices the face of the creature as it creeps ever closer. On his pyramid mask, it is wearing sunglasses and a blue hat! Only one person in Tropico could wear such fancy and incredibly good-looking accessories El Presidente! Penultimo sinks into relief, realizing he finally found his leader. But suddenly, the presumptive El Presidente raises his muscular arm! He would never hurt Penultimo right? Unless, it is not El Presidente! The creature takes off the sunglasses and to Penultimos surprise, it also removes its hideous mask. Underneath emerges a smiling El Presidente who just played a Halloween joke on poor Penultimo. However, the two cant laugh together for long. In the distance, they see a small helpless child wearing a mask with distorted face shapes. Probably just another kid playing some Halloween tricks! Probably



[h2]Happy Halloween! [/h2]

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.

[h3]About Tropico 6 - Lobbyistico DLC:[/h3]
What do the European Union and corruption have in common? Nothing, of course, since the EU is as pure as a drop of finest Tropican rum. So why not run a field study and get to know more about this curious political entity; and why not run it from the great nation of Tropico, so famously governed by corrupt politicians (except for El Presidente, of course)? Join the EU in their investigations into 'corruptionomics' and unlock powerful new perks in Tropico 6 - Lobbyistico DLC.

Corruption lies at the heart of the Lobbyistico DLC. Invite faction leaders as lobbyists into the El Presidente Club and conduct backroom politics to unlock a unique new set of perks to boost the economy and manipulate faction standings. However, with increased lobby work comes increased corruption, all of which will impact the wider Tropican economy and society.

Fight the spread of corruption - or, lets be honest, just try to cover everything up - using the new Corruption Agency. Enjoy two new traits, three music tracks and a fetching new set of customization items for El Prez and his palace.

[h3]Features:[/h3]

• Corruption gameplay mechanic: Use lobby work to gain access to new perks to boost your economy while trying to balance the resulting corruption, which will ruin your island paradise with negative effects if left unchecked
  
• 3 new buildings: Get some dirty lobbying work done in the El Presidente Club, where statesmen can discuss affairs of state in seclusion and secrecy. Use the Corruption Agency to cover everything up and invite faction leaders to stay at the Official Residence in exchange for political favours
  
• Additional traits: 'Polarizing', 'All For The Folk'
  
• Even more music: Viva la Corrupcin, Fiesta en el Club, Bruselas est Bailando
  
• 4 additional customization options for El Prez and the palace

Rest assured that we are still focused on working on the multiplayer savegames feature. In the past weeks since launch we have made good progress on it, but we will require a bit more time to have it ready to share with you. Thank you for your patience.

We hope you enjoy this update and have a very Tropican Easter holiday. Thank you for your ongoing support!

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!

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

El Presidentes latest adventure pushed back
for extra fine-tuning

Kalypso Media is best known as a publisher of strategy and simulation games, with the critically acclaimed Tropico series as the companys flagship brand. 2019 sees the launch of the latest instalment in this beloved series, with the highly-anticipated Tropico 6 scheduled to release on PC and consoles.

After going through rigorous in-house testing and taking on board all the feedback collected from the closed beta and the wider Tropico community, Tropico 6 is shaping up to be a great game. However, great is not enough when it comes to El Presidente. As always, Kalypso is striving to deliver an outstanding gameplay experience to make Tropico 6 the best in the series to date, and as such has taken the difficult decision to move the release of the PC, MAC and Linux versions to 29th March in order to allow sufficient time to implement as much of the fans feedback as possible and work on final balancing and polishing to raise the level of quality expected from this flagship brand to what the Tropico fans and community deserve.

People of the world, rejoice!
El Presidente, beloved leader of Tropico, has today announced that Tropico 6, the next instalment of the critically acclaimed dictator sim, will release worldwide for PC in January 2019, with the console versions planned for a summer 2019 launch.

In a statement made directly from the palace balcony, it was confirmed that Kalypso Media and El Presidente want Tropico 6 to be the biggest and greatest Tropico yet for both PC and consoles. To achieve this, the hard-working citizens at Limbic Studios are working tirelessly and making the most of the extra development time afforded by a 2019 release to deliver the most complete and balanced experience ever seen in a Tropico game. By using the Unreal engine for the first time in the series’ history, the world of Tropico has never looked more stunning, whether zoomed out for a full view of far-reaching archipelagos or watching each individual citizen go about their daily routines at ground level.

To further excite his beloved fans, our bearded leader has approved a new gameplay video showcasing the beautiful archipelagos, breathtaking world wonders and intricate transport systems to connect his citizens together. Not to mention the many ways El Presidente can now customise his humble abode to watch over his people.

If that’s not enough to get fans champing at the bit, Kalypso can also confirm that there will be a closed Steam beta coming this autumn, giving dedicated fans early hands-on access to the game and the opportunity to help shape the final gameplay experience with their feedback. More details will be announced soon.

Tropico 6 will be making a return to gamescom in Cologne next week with hands-on gameplay available in the consumer hall (Hall 8, B43) and by appointment with the development team in the business area (Hall 2.1, C10/D13).
