Tropico-4 posts

This Tropico 4 trailer doesn't really show much. Instead, it's more of an announcement for the newest entry in the long-running series of island dictatorship sims. If it's anything like the previous games - and it most undoubtedly will be - it'll be chock full of all sorts of edicts, special buildings angry citizens, and political pratfalls. We just wish this particular trailer had been a bit more interesting, though. One can only look at words for so long!

Fans waiting to head back to your island nation as head dictator in Tropico 4 will have to wait just a little longer. The island government sim game from developer Haemimont Games and publisher Kalypso Media was originally scheduled for released during the second quarter of 2010 when it was first announced back in August 2010 but now the game's release date has been pushed back a couple of months to sometime in August 2011.

The game will still have a number of new features compared to Tropico 3 including electing ministers to help push through controversial laws, new missions and buildings and the ability to post comments inside the game on your Twitter page.

Kalypso Media's revival of the Tropico franchise with 2009's Tropico 3 seems to have been successful enough for the publisher to get another entry in the island dictator sim series. Today the publisher announced plans for Tropico 4 which will be developed once again by the team at Haemimont Games.

Due out in the second quarter of 2011, Tropico 4 will once again have you as the leader of an island nation. However this time you have the option of turning your nation into a true global super power. Look for a new campaign over 20 missions and 10 maps, 20 new buildings, six new disasters and more. The PC version will allow you to send Twitter messages from within the game, send screenshots from the game to your Facebook page and compare your ranking with other players.
