Tropico 6 is still scheduled to launch this year on PC (Windows/Mac OS/Linux), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, publisher Kalypso Media confirmed today in a press release. We also got a brand new gameplay trailer (embedded below), which proves that the dictator simulation game never looked as good as it does now with Unreal Engine 4.
Tropico 6 is the first franchise entry to be developed by German studio Limbic Entertainment, known for Might & Magic Heroes VI, Might & Magic X: Legacy and Might & Magic Heroes VII.
Below you can find the features overview of the game, which you can already add to your wishlist on Steam. Tropico 6 will also be demonstrated at next week's Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2018, so we might get even more information shortly.
