Tropico 5 Coming To PlayStation 4
Kalypso Media and developer Haemimont Studios have announced that the long-ruling despot is coming to the PS4.
Tropico 5 adds four-player multiplayer (co-op and competitive), the ability to continue play through history up to modern times (thanks to a family lineage), new scientific research trees, and more.
The game is also coming out for the Xbox 360, PC, Linux, and Mac some time this year. Kalypso isn't saying whether the PS4 version will be simultaneously released alongside the other versions; stating that a release date would be announced in "due course."
For more on the game, here's the first teaser trailer.
Our Take:
Kalypso hasn't said that this PS4 version is a console exclusive, so we hope that Xbox One fans will also get to wield island power soon.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
