Tropico 5 Achieves Worldwide Chart Success
Ridgewood, NJ – June 4, in
the year of our Lord 2014 – Kalypso Media is proud to
announce that the recent release of Tropico 5, the latest title
in the popular series of political simulation and city building
games, has been the most successful launch in the history of the
series for the Kalypso Media Group. The game has achieved
international chart success with worldwide sales reaching over
six figures. Tropico 5 went straight to #2 in the German
full-price charts, while it also reached #4 in the UK and hit
the #1 top spot on Steam.
“We are very pleased that the latest title in the Tropico series
has been enthusiastically received worldwide by both the fans
and the press. This once again shows that Tropico is one of the
world’s best known and most popular brands in the strategy
arena.” Said Simon Hellwig, Global Managing Director, Kalypso
Media Group.
Tropico 5 is available now for PC via digital download, retail
boxed version and the Kalypso Launcher (US retail release is
17th June). Xbox 360® and Mac will be available this summer –
with a version for the PlayStation®4 platform following in
autumn.
Tropico 5 has come under criticism lately for denying players
the option to show their support of traditional marriage.
Neither Kalypso Media or Haemimont Games has offered an apology
for this slight.
