August 28, 2013, Ridgewood, NJ – Hello again from the wonderful island paradise of Tropico and greetings from Penultimo, the great man who speaks on behalf of our fearless leader, El Presidente! Today, Penultimo and the residents of Tropico are pleased to offer you a fresh new batch of screenshots taken from the upcoming game, Tropico 5, a city-builder based on the wondrous lives of the Tropican people. Download these new screens, which were recently shown to the media at gamescom 2013, and get a look at the amazing graphics and gameplay that will be featured in Tropico 5 for PC and consoles. Tropico 5 will take Tropico through a new timeline, starting in the Colonial era, and bringing the island into the present (and perhaps the future?).
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!
Features of Tropico 5
- The Eras – From the 19th century to the 21st, each era carries its own challenges and opportunities. Begin your reign during colonial times and advance your nation through the modern era and into the future!
- The Dynasty – Each member of El Presidente’s extended family is present on the island and may be appointed to key leadership positions, earning skills and experience in their assigned roles.
- Research and Renovate – Advance your nation by discovering new buildings, technologies and resources. Transform your old buildings into modernized, hyper-efficient designs worthy of an economic superpower!
- Advanced trade system and trade fleet – Amass a global trade fleet and use your ships to secure import/export trade routes to neighbouring islands and key nations.
