El Presidente must have saved mucho money from Tropico’s previous outings as Tropico 5 is finally going to have the much requested competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes for the first time in the games history. But don’t think El Presidente would just slap on some new modes to an old engine and call it a day Tropico 5 looks even more luscious and beautiful than ever before.
Be sure to check out the trailer and screenshots to see a taste of the wonderful island you’ll call your own in Tropico 5. You can watch how you move from steam ships, to planes, modern cars and even if you plan your chips right see your island grow into the far future. How you rule your island people is up to you, you can have a lasting legacy and rule with an iron fist or just kick back become a tourist destination and soak in the sun without a care in the world.
Tropico 5 is going to be available for PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox 360 later this summer. Kalypso Media is even working on a version for the PlayStation 4 later this year. If you’re up to the task you can even head on over and sign up to possibly be an El Presidente Beta Tester here.

You must tackle the changing needs of your people, as well as opposing governments and factions, and thus lay the foundations for your own dynasty. As you move through your years in office you can promote members of your extended family on the island to positions of power: such as ambassador, commanding general or even Supreme Ruler, to ensure your legacy thrives through the eras.
As well as a wealth of other new features, including advanced trading mechanics, technology, scientific research trees and island exploration,Tropico 5 will add cooperative and competitive multiplayer for up to four players for the first time in the series’ history! Viva El Presidente!
