Tropico 6 - New Frontiers Touches Down on PC

[TheLostSwede]

Publisher Kalypso Media and in-house developer Realmforge Studios 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.

Tropico 6 - New Frontiers is out now for PC. The cosmic DLC will blast off for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles on 15th December.

Let the space race begin!

Does this one let you simulate US vote counting? Or would that be too banana republic-y?

It does. And many things more
I actually quite like the game. It's a good mixture of cozy city builder, laidback humour, and a bit of depth, but not too much.

wow, I just re-downloaded this game! Guess gotta buy this now.

That's always been a thing in Tropico. If by US-vote counting, you mean legit (what it really is mostly) that's an option too. Well legit as in popular vote style with or without fraud. There is no "electoral college" shenanigans. Would make little sense in a ~2000 resident island nation.

My biggest flaw in Tropico is I play such a goodguy it handicaps me. Thank goodness for diff sliders.

Re this expansion; always felt the space stuff was a bit over the top regarding your aparrent place in the world, but they seem insistent on pushing it in. Also, the world monument stealing in 6 is an afront to the classic Tropico players everywhere. Like you'd survive that kind of heist lol.

This type of game reminds me of the already dead Sim City franchise... sad end for the title.

The base game is actually worth getting on sale IMO. The DLCs are quite debatable.

I've had fun in it, even with my restricted style of play where I ignore completely impossible stuff.

Ah, ah, the same here.
Always try my best to help people ... fails at the end. (same applies in Frostpunk too).
These games pushes the "dictator" side of every gamer !

A good relax Sim these Tropico games, with some good music too.

Ah, yes, the music has always been Tropicos hidden gem.
