Packed with a whole host of new gameplay features and all new

new and exciting direction – dynasties!
You, as El Presidente, will first take control of the infamous
island of Tropico during early colonial times and then guide it
through the centuries as the world changes and moves ever
forward. You must tackle the changing needs of your people, as
well as opposing governments and factions, and thus lay the
foundations for your own dynasty. As you move through your years
in office you can promote members of your extended family on the
island to positions of power: such as ambassador, commanding
general or even Supreme Ruler, to ensure your legacy thrives
through the eras.
As well as a wealth of other new features, including advanced
trading mechanics, technology, scientific research trees and
island exploration, Tropico 5 will add cooperative and
competitive multiplayer for up to four players for the first
time in the series’ history! Viva El Presidente!
Tropico 5 will be available for PC globally on 23rd of May (US
retail 3rd June). Xbox 360® and Mac will be available this
summer – with a version for the PlayStation®4 platform following
in autumn.
