📢❗ Dear Tropicans ❗ 📢

Today I am forced to deliver a shocking truth: Our beloved leader, El Presidente, is a lizardman! His elegant suit, his charming stance is nothing but a LIE.
In Viva la Tropico they betray us❗❗❗
Viva la pueblo lagarto they chant behind closed doors!!!

👁️‍🗨️Have you ever glimpsed our EL Presidente without sunglasses? Without his glorious beard?
No?? It’s not mere coincidence! The reason is that he hides his reptilian eyes and scales beneath them!!

🌐 Here is definitive proof: I was able to intercept a fan-letter which was addressed to our El-Prez himself!
[…] Lizzzardente, we must keep the warmbloods from figuring out your Identity. If thosssse warm blooded ANIMALSSSS know […] ❗❗you are one of usss❗❗, we will have to reschedule our plansss[…] terrible […] we don’t […] because you are the greatessst of them all!”

🔍 But what is their true motivation? El Presidente, El Lizardente is an elite in the realms of Lizardpeople, pulling the strings behind the scenes and holding our future in the palm of his hand. Our economy, our daily life, our SUFFERING is controlled by them IN SECRET. UNBELIEVEABLE. But I tell you: THE SECRECY MUST BE STOPPED!

🤯 Not only filthy Lizardente is part of the skin-shedders: Sister Francesca, Mason Belmonte and General Rodrigo Rodriguez all have their lizardry eyes on us.

• The Order of the Howling Skull? No one ever noticed????
  
• Mason Belmonte is just a capitalistic snake!
  
• Isn’t it weird that the strategies of our legendary general all involve neck breaking maneuvers? The reason is clear: He doesn’t have a spine or neck!

The Lizardpeople are a powerful organization: Angelo Merte or Mark Zuckerberg, all have their claws buried deep in our world. Their skin is cold, and their stare feels dead. Do you want someone like that to have secret control over your life??!

🙏 Please share this message all around Tropico before it’s too late! The truth must come to light. We will no longer be kept in the dark ❗❗❗ 🐍

[Available until May 5th on PC, PS4 and Xbox One]

I have an egg-citing idea just in time for Easter festivities! 🐰

Picture this: Bunnies behind the wheel, cruising the streets of Tropico. Now, I know what you're thinking, El Presidente: ‘Penultimo, have you lost your marbles? Bunnies driving cars in Tropico?’

Fear not! This is just an egg-celent suggestion, a dream of what could be. But oh, just imagine that! Bunnies zipping around, delivering coconuts instead of eggs – for a small fee, of course. 🥚 And you can tell them where to drive (even through your political enemies’ buildings)! 🚘

Truly, the future of Tropico knows no bounds!

¡Felices Pascuas!

Turn up the Tropico music, fetch your chonky llama balloons and celebrate with us and the whole Palace team: Happy 5th Birthday to Tropico 6! 🎉

In the 5 years since release, El Prez made Tropico great again with many new free landmarks like the Moonlander, new buildings like the Overwatch Tower, maps for multiplayer & sandbox mode, and whole new scenarios in 7 full DLCs. And he continues to improve! His reign might only be 5 years old, but he's already shown off such incredible power (and such a lush beard)! 😎

We want to especially thank YOU for legitimately voting for El Prez for 5 years. You, the loyal community, are the reason why El Presidente can be the leader for so long (not just because of his rigged elections *COUGH*) and you are the reason we want to continue making Tropico even greater. 💙

Long live El Prez and long live every one of you who carries their own El Prez in their heart – here’s to many more Tropican years to come! 🌴

Tropico invites Meta Quest players to immerse themselves completely in the role of El Presidente, overseeing all aspects of island life as they propel the Tropican people into prosperity.

Featuring all missions and DLC from Tropico 4 on PC, virtual Presidentes will use intuitive VR controls to meet the aspirations of their people, all while navigating relations with neighbouring superpowers, dealing with political opponents and surviving natural disasters.

With 40 missions and an endlessly replayable Sandbox mode included, Tropico for Meta Quest offers a refreshing new perspective on the complete island management experience.

The Tropican people need a leader with vision! Tropico is now available on the Meta Store[www.meta.com] for $29.99 / £22.99 / €29.99.

On this Valentine’s Day, always remember: El Prez loves himse- YOU! 😊💕

(No, Penultimo, those flowers are NOT for you. They are for the llamas…🌹)

It’s Christmas here in Tropico! Of course, Penultimo is slaving away working at the Palace while El Prez enjoys his Christmas break… What’s this popping up on Penultimo’s Tropicair 8800 PC? An e-mail from El Santa!

Dear Penultimo,

Most important question first: Have you written my Christmas speech yet? The deadline is today! And don’t you dare include something about how I’m going to distribute presents among the Tropicans as El Santa. I guess I can be convinced, as long as I get a llama sled – but don’t buy it with my Swiss bank account! Anyways, I’m going to go on a Christmas vacation to the North Pole soon. I hear they have lots of free space where I could build some “houses” for my political “friends” to reside in. But no heating, that’s too expensive, oh deer!

I don’t know if you’re going to take great care of all business matters while I’m away – but I know you’re getting fired if you don’t!

Happy Holidays,
El Santa.

Ahhh, what would Christmas be without an ever-present El Presidente watching over you? 😊 The Presidential Palace and El Presidentes Community Team Freeky, Kaarl and Lunareiya as well as the entire Tropico 6 team wishes you merry Christmas and happy holidays – and remember: Keep voting for El Prez!

Tropicans!

El Presidente is thrilled to be in the running for this year’s Steam Awards, and demands nothing less than absolute success for Tropico.
He has run his beloved island for 4 years now and spread terro- uhm, free content with his 21 Updates since the release. Featuring new buildings like the Dungeon Entrance, maps, edicts, landmarks and languages. And with the recently added modding support for PC, he expresses his infinite love to YOU (as long as you vote for him!)
