It is earned. Those who wish to know the future of Tropico… must watch, and obey.”With an expanded system for political constitutions, edicts – which now dynamically depend on El Prez’ political position – and a new political matrix, new city building mechanics like curved roads and even roundabouts as well as terraforming, Tropico…

- Tropico 7 brings back El Presidente's satirical strategy game for a sunny sequel - 20 August 2025
You can't keep El Presidente down. Tropico 7 has been confirmed during the 'Xbox at Gamescom' live show, although we'll be waiting a little longer for the strategy game sequel to actually arrive. More gorgeous than Cities Skylines 2 and certainly a lot more laid-back than Frostpunk 2, the Tropico games have always been a treat. Its short teaser features the series' long-time figurehead in a fresh white suit, and he says we'll be returning to the "greatest country on Earth" some time next year. Read the rest of the story...

The beloved El Presidente is back — whether the people like it or not — cutting his luxurious vacation short (reportedly under protest) to personally oversee the announcement teaser at gamescom 2025. With his trademark flair, and a suitcase full of suspiciously stamped passports, he’s ready to reclaim his throne in 2026 and take the city-building genre to new heights — literally! “With Tropico 7, we open a new chapter in city-building, politics, and economics — giving players more control and complexity than ever, while preserving the mischief and satire fans love,” says Daniel Dumont, Studio a…
