El Presidente Reveals 2019 Release Date For Tropico 6 and Steam-Beta in Autumn [EN/DE]

People of the world, rejoice!
El Presidente, beloved leader of Tropico, has today announced that Tropico 6, the next instalment of the critically acclaimed dictator sim, will release worldwide for PC in January 2019, with the console versions planned for a summer 2019 launch.

In a statement made directly from the palace balcony, it was confirmed that Kalypso Media and El Presidente want Tropico 6 to be the biggest and greatest Tropico yet for both PC and consoles. To achieve this, the hard-working citizens at Limbic Studios are working tirelessly and making the most of the extra development time afforded by a 2019 release to deliver the most complete and balanced experience ever seen in a Tropico game. By using the Unreal engine for the first time in the series’ history, the world of Tropico has never looked more stunning, whether zoomed out for a full view of far-reaching archipelagos or watching each individual citizen go about their daily routines at ground level.

To further excite his beloved fans, our bearded leader has approved a new gameplay video showcasing the beautiful archipelagos, breathtaking world wonders and intricate transport systems to connect his citizens together. Not to mention the many ways El Presidente can now customise his humble abode to watch over his people.

If that’s not enough to get fans champing at the bit, Kalypso can also confirm that there will be a closed Steam beta coming this autumn, giving dedicated fans early hands-on access to the game and the opportunity to help shape the final gameplay experience with their feedback. More details will be announced soon.

Tropico 6 will be making a return to gamescom in Cologne next week with hands-on gameplay available in the consumer hall (Hall 8, B43) and by appointment with the development team in the business area (Hall 2.1, C10/D13).

[DE]El Presidente mit finalem Release-Datum, gamescom-Trailer und einer Beta im Herbst!

Am heutigen 12. Geburtstag der Kalypso Media verkündet El Presidente mit Stolz geschwellter Brust, dass das neue Tropico 6 im Januar 2019 für PC und im Sommer 2019 für Konsolen (PlayStation 4 und Xbox One) erscheinen wird.
In einer mitreißenden Ansprache direkt vom Palast-Balkon, bekräftigte El Presidente sein Vorhaben, Tropico 6 zum größten und besten Tropico aller Zeiten zu machen und spornte seine willigen Untertanen bei Kalypso Media und Limbic Entertainment weiter an, die zusätzliche Entwicklungszeit dafür zu nutzen, um hart und unermüdlich an der Verwirklichung dieser Vision zu arbeiten!

Erste Früchte dieser Arbeit lassen sich übrigens auf der gamescom bewundern:
In Halle 8, Stand B 43 dürfen willige Neubürger das neue Tropico 6 anspielen.
In der Business Area in Halle 2.1, Stand C12/D13 präsentieren Entwickler das Spiel Presse und Partnern.
Tropico sah nie besser aus, war nie größer und hatte noch nie so viele Features wie im neuen 6. Teil. Einen ausgezeichneten Eindruck davon bietet der aktuelle Tropico 6 gamescom-Trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K95CfpnTJ3Q

Zweifler wird El Presidente spätestens mit der für den Herbst geplanten Steam-Beta zum Schweigen bringen, denn hier dürfen Fans eine erste Anspielversion auf Herz und Nieren testen.
Genaue Details hierzu werden in den Wochen nach der gamescom verlautbart.

Titel:
Tropico 6
Plattformen:
PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac und Linux
Entwickler:
Limbic Entertainment
Genre:
City-Builder/Diktator-Simulation
Release:
Januar 2019 (PC) // Sommer 2019 (PS4, Xbox One)

Über Tropico 6
Es ist das Comeback des Jahres:
El Presidente kehrt mit Tropico 6 zurück, um in Zeiten von politischen Wirrungen und Unruhen mit visionärer Politik, Weitsicht und Scharfsinn die Geschicke des Landes zu lenken. Dabei hat er nur die besten Absichten für sein Volk, trotz anders lautender Presse covfefe. Tropico 6 erscheint 2018 für Windows PC, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Mac und Linux.

Für Tropico 6 verspricht El Presidente das größte, schönste und beste Tropico aller Zeiten: Der 6. Teil der beliebten Diktatoren-Simulation wird dank der aktuellen Unreal 4-Engine so lebensecht wie nie zuvor erstrahlen. Und auch das Entwicklerteam ist neu: Mit Limbic Entertainment aus Langen wird erstmals ein deutscher Entwickler die tropicanischen Inseln zum digitalen Leben erwecken und viele neue ausgefeilte Ideen mitbringen, ohne den Kern der heiß geliebten Serie zu vernachlässigen.

Inseln? Richtig gelesen. In Tropico 6 wird Spielern nicht nur eine Insel zur Verfügung stehen, sondern eine weitläufige Inselgruppe, was viele neue strategische Möglichkeiten eröffnet. Erstmals wird es auch Brücken und weitere neue Möglichkeiten des Transports geben.

Darüber hinaus lassen sich in Tropico 6 die eigenen Inseln mit Weltwundern und internationalen Sehenswürdigkeiten verschönern. Das ist schließlich das Mindeste, was El Presidente verdient hat! Auch bei den Missionen geht es wieder typisch tropicanisch zu. So möchte El Presidente unter anderem die Welt des Profisports beherrschen. Wie stellt er das an? Er entführt flugs ein amerikanisches Baseballteam... Nur ein Beispiel von vielen. Der typische Tropico-Humor wird also auch in Tropico 6 nicht zu kurz kommen.

Haupt-Features:

Zum ersten Mal wird statt auf nur einer Insel auf Archipelagos mit unterschiedlichen Gegebenheiten und Herausforderungen gebaut.
El Presidentes Agenten reißen sich die Weltwunder und Denkmäler der Welt unter den Nagel, um sie seiner Sammlung hinzuzufügen.
Tropico 6 bietet sehr umfangreiche Transport- und Infrastruktur-Verbesserungen gegenüber den Vorgängern. Große Brücken und Tunnel sorgen für schnelle Fortbewegung: Tropicaner und Touristen nutzen dabei u.a. Taxen, Busse und Seilbahnen.
Umfangreiche Anpassungsmöglichkeiten ermöglichen es den eigenen Palast individuell zu gestalten - inklusive freischaltbarer Boni!
Tropico 6 verfügt über ein überarbeitetes Forschungssystem, das den Fokus auf die politischen Aspekte des weltbesten Diktators legt.
Die Wahlreden sind zurück: Endlich lassen sich wieder Versprechungen machen, die unmöglich gehalten werden können!
Tropico erstrahlt dank Unreal Engine 4 so lebensecht wie nie zuvor.

2019 release date only mentions Windows PC...what about the Linux version?

Tropico 6 will release in 2019 on Windows PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One.

Yet further down:

Platforms:
PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac and Linux

This is a bit confusing...

I can't wait for the release!

I am most hyped for that FULL MODDING SUPPORT using that advanced Service Development Kit. You should add that to the Features LIst or promote it somehow. Modding support, even using dedicated/advanced service kits, SELLS GAMES.
