El Presidente returns in 2018, as Kalypso announce a sixth entry in the long-running Tropico series.
Earlier in the week Kalypso Media, and new series developer Limbic Entertainment, unveiled a new trailer for Tropico 6, the next entry in the long-running strategy title which sees you as a leader of a fictitious banana republic.
Limbic Entertainment, who have previously worked on the Might & Magic series with Ubisoft, will be taking on the mantle from Haemimont Games who have developed the series since the third iteration when Kalypso Media acquired the IP from Take Two. Take Two had never made use of the license., simply picking it up as collateral during their aggressive expansion into the market in the early 2000s
Limbic’s take on the series seems promising with the inclusion of multiple island maps as well as the bridges and tools required to connect them. There’s also a strange feature based around the pilfering of international landmarks for the fame of the island.
