We are over the moon to announce that Tropico 6 – New Frontiers is out now for PC. Whilst a certain billionaire is distracted by the chaos at Twitter, El Presidente has decided that now is the perfect time for a little space exploration of his own if he truly wants to become the richest man in the universe. SpaceX who?



In Tropico 6 – New Frontiers, players are tasked with ensuring Tropico stays ahead of the international competition. It’s a wide world out there and El Prez is taking his persuasion tactics to galactic heights. With the new Space Port Complex, players will embark on launching Tropico into a glorious new future as they construct rockets and delve into research. Take on the Space Race, walk on the Moon and establish the first Mars colony of humankind with the all-new Mission Mars campaign. New characters, buildings and edicts open countless possibilities to make more money, keep your citizens happy and improve upon that Tropican perfection. You can even customise a fresh look for El Prez and his palace that is out of this world. But be warned, even with a stellar plan there is no greater risk than space exploration and who knows what unforeseen circumstances await. You’ll need to be creative if you want to claim glory for Tropico.



Want more cosmic content? With the just-released Tropico 6 update, El Prez is also happy to provide some new content for the citizens of Tropico including bug fixes and a new free landmark, the Moonlander – as long as you vote correctly of course. Tropico 6 – New Frontiers will also be showcased during the game’s first live stream with the Developers on Friday 2nd December at 6pm GMT / 7pm CET over on Kalypso Live.

Amongst several fixes, update 19 also solves an issue that led to the Housing-Quality Bonus from Metro Station not being updated correctly when relocating the Metro Station or correspondingly affected residential buildings were relocated. Fixes also include an issue with crashes that could occur in multiplayer, when building bridges or saves included bridges were loaded.

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 sight…It 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?



Penultimo’s fear reaches another level as he steps into what seems like ketchup… but isn’t. 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, Penultimo’s fears manifest themselves. In front of him, a creature that seems like a regular human, stops him on his journey. On the creature’s 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 Penultimo’s 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 Penultimo’s 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 can’t 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…

El Presidente is back!

In times of political turmoil and social unrest, the people are calling for visionary leaders, who will steer the fate of their country with foresight and ingenuity. Prove yourself once again as a feared dictator or peace-loving statesman on the island state of Tropico and shape the fate of your very own banana republic through four distinctive eras. Face new challenges on the international stage and always keep the needs of your people in mind.

For the first time in the series, manage extensive archipelagos, build bridges to connect your islands and use new means of transportation and infrastructure. Send your Tropicans on raids to steal the wonders of the world, including the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. Customize your palace at will and give election speeches from your balcony, to win the favor of your subjects.
