Welcome back El Presidente! The fifth iteration of the Tropico series is scheduled for release during the second quarter of 2014 on PC, PS4 and Xbox 360.
We’ve known a Tropico 5 was in the works but only now do we get a preview with the debut of the gameplay trailer. It seems the formula has not changed (this is a positive point, we don’t need another SimCity 2013 right now) where you, the ‘tactical’ President of a banana republic lead your country through different ages from a village speckled island to a world island state power house.
Watching the trailer we can point out a few interesting and pretty cool features including a greater customisation allowance of your player El Presidente. There also seems to be an expanded various amount of building projects you can commission on your island.
Interestingly, but not confirmed, there seems to be an era beyond present day and power is not always left for one ruler to hold. We really can’t wait to play!
Kalypso and Haemimont Games seem on track with the project and currently in need of beta testers with positions open now… get out there guys!
For now, enjoy the trailer.
