Tropico 6 Release Set for 2018 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC

Tropico 6 is officially announced and confirmed to be coming in 2018, although there isn’t a specific release window just yet.

The new debut trailer ends with a “rule again” title card and a release date of 2018. The game is to come on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, as was the case for the previous games. Hopefully, the new entry will feel a bit fuller than the previous, as Tropico 5 felt like a barebones release that didn’t quite live up to our expectations.

It seems to be “time to get back into the game” as El Presidente returns for another year of semi-democratic construction and management simulation. There is sure to be plenty of satire and poking fun at the current political climate; easy to do these days but no less hilarious when found in a game. Especially with the comment about a requested night off and getting two hours instead like it was some sort of philanthropic favor; there is surely a Tweet from the current US President stating something similar.

In fact, we actually see El Presidente using “Spitter” in the PS4 reveal trailer (above), obviously taking a jab at our current president. At the end of the trailer, you can see the ruler flipping off a switch that says “El Presidente’s Crowd” — obviously another jab at #45. Hopefully, you can make your Tropico have a better ruler.

Hopefully, we’ll get a good look at gameplay sooner rather than later, as Tropico 5 was definitely hit or miss.

Tropico 6 certainly looks promising, and it couldn’t come at a better time for U.S. players.
