Tropicofans had to wait six years afterTropico 2: Pirate’s Covewas released for a new title; in 2009, developer Haemimont Games releasedTropico 3. To prove that it’s serious about thisTropicobusiness, the developer has just announcedTropico 4for a 2011 release.
The game will feature an all new campaign, spanning 20 missions across 10 new maps. You want buildings? There are 20 new ones, including a Stock Exchange and the Mausoleum to El Presidente. Disasters? You got it — they’re adding volcanoes, droughts, and tornadoes to the mix. Harassing folks via Twitter and Facebook? Done. The PC version ofTropico 4will link to your social networks and allow you to post when you complete a mission or unlock an achievement. There will even be a Facebook page where you’ll be able to keep track of your Dictator ranking.
The title is currently in development for the Windows PC, but Haemimont says info on console versions is forthcoming.Tropico 3was also released on the Xbox 360, so that seems like a good bet. Anyone ready to get dirty as El Presidente again?
