Tropico 5 PC Global Release Date Announced for May
Ridgewood, NJ – April 2nd,
in the year of our Lord 2014 – Start a bright new
future for you and your family by moving to the beautiful land
of opportunity known as Tropico. On May 23rd, El Presidente has
declared that Tropico 5 will be available globally on PC so make
sure you’ve packed your sunglasses and swim shorts. The Xbox
360® and Mac versions will be releasing this summer with a
version for the PlayStation®4 platform following in autumn.
Kalypso is also working on an extensive Steam OS (Linux) version
which will release with the respective new hardware.
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 May 23rd. Xbox
360® and Mac will be available this summer – with a version for
the PlayStation®4 platform following in autumn.
