Tropicans!

El Presidente is thrilled to be in the running for this year’s Steam Awards, and demands nothing less than absolute success for Tropico.
He has run his beloved island for 4 years now and spread terro- uhm, free content with his 21 Updates since the release. Featuring new buildings like the Dungeon Entrance, maps, edicts, landmarks and languages. And with the recently added modding support for PC, he expresses his infinite love to YOU (as long as you vote for him!)

Want to give love back to your favourite Presidente? Vote Tropico 6 as 'Labor of Love'…or else!

Vote El Prez!
Or else...

Mastermind and Detective par excellence, El Presidente, has noticed his citizens have started to go missing and has sent his best intern Penultimo to investigate the case.
After a week of thorough research and Tropican-Stalking, Penultimo has sent back 2 pieces of evidence, which hint towards a foreign invasion of Tropico, whose ultimate evil powers seem to be luring harmless citizens on „Dungeon Tours“ and turning them into weird little green things.




Rumor has it, the master of said Dungeon has come to challenge El Presidentes position as the worlds greatest dictator. Penultimo promised to infiltrate said Dungeon, but has yet to return….

In the meantime, you can now build your own 4th Dungeon Entrance in Tropico 6!

In case you too would like to join the evil forces, you can hop into the Dungeon and find out more here: https://dungeons4-game.com/

El Presidente is excited to announce, that he is ready to spread his infectious charm in his newest DLC Tropico 6 – Going Viral. Prepare that syringe, sanitize those hands (for a full thirty seconds), and slip into a clean set of scrubs because El Presidente is Going Viral in what promises to be his toughest battle yet. Faced with a microscopic, yet mighty threat, new diseases threaten to put all Tropicans at risk. The race for the cure starts today on PC and comes to console October 26 on Xbox One and Series X|S, and PlayStation 4|5.



Join El Presidente, as he delves into the world of pandemics and the chaos of political maneuvering as he aims to conquer or capitalize on four new diseases disrupting the daily life of loyal Tropicans. The Going Viral DLC introduces the new “Panic” mechanic which measures the Tropican’s reactions to these diseases. With this insight into their level of panic, will you raise the alarm to exploit the fear of your citizens or keep the population calm in the face of a potentially deadly threat? With the addition of these new viruses, the afflicted residents will experience severe harm, while others will only experience mild symptoms.
As the fearless leader, pull the strings to keep the pandemic in check with nine new buildings and 16 new edicts. Build the Colossal Hospital to increase your medical capacities and place medical checkpoints to find infected individuals. Fight the plague in style with the new outfit option for El Presidente - the Plague Mask accessory. You will be perfectly prepared for any and all destruction this pandemic brings to Tropico.

Tropico 6 – Going Viral has been released upon the world on PC, with a second strain infecting consoles on October 26 across Xbox One and Series X|S, and PlayStation 4|5.

Features:

• Find the cure, with Tropico 6 – Going Viral: Four different diseases hit Tropico and disrupt daily life; some may severely harm your citizens, others may be just a mild cough *cough*.
  
• Pull the strings & keep control in a four mission-campaign or fight the diseases on a new multiplayer map.
  
• Stay calm… or don’t! Influence the masses with the new “Panic” mechanic. The Panic Meter measures how the Tropican citizens feel about the diseases. High panic allows for more
  powerful edicts to be enacted. Should you raise the alarm in order to exploit the situation with powerful edicts, or keep the population calm in the face of a potentially deadly threat?
  
• Inject first, ask later: A host of 16 exciting new edicts will be unlocked as your Panic Meter rises and will give you different ways in which to exploit the disease. Choose to mandate masks, or choose to gear up for a viral palace party, it’s all up to you, El Presidente!
  
• Managing disease: Nine new buildings will change the way you manage Tropico and how you deal with outbreaks and diseases. Use the Healing Howitzer to speedily distribute the cure to your Tropicans or build the new Colossal Hospital to increase your medical capacities and place Medical Checkpoints on the streets to find infected people.
  In addition, during the campaign a curious quack will also help you manage the disease in Ambrosius’ Magic Hut.
  
• Fight the plague in style with new design options for El Presidente & the palace! With new accessories like the Plague Mask Accessory for El Presidente or the Medical Fencing for your palace, you'll be perfectly prepared.

El Presidente and Penultimo (mostly El Presidente) have also decided to bestow emergency powers of creating and playing in-game mods to the masses. After discussing with the Mod.io ambassadors, El Prez simply couldn’t keep these exciting possibilities from his loyal fans. The mods will be hosted on the Mod.io website and will be downloadable via an in-game menu across the Steam, Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store and GOG versions.

The kit to create these mods has been rolled out for PC for free on the Epic Games Store or can be acquired from El Presidente directly (for a small handling fee of 1,000 Tropican Dollars). A series of videos prepared by Tropico’s Department of Education, hosted on the Kalypso_live Youtube channel, will teach those new to modding how to create mods for Tropico 6.

For more information on the Mod Kit, tips and tricks from the developers, and directions to download, please visit the Kalypso Media Discord Server.
