Tropico 4 release date announced

Published on 16th August 2011 by Joe Martin

Kalypso has announced a release date for the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Tropico 4.

Kalypso Media has announced the release date of upcoming PC and Xbox 360 strategy title, Tropico 4 in the run up to GamesCom 2011.

Tropico 4, which sees players return to the role of El Presidente, dictator of the eponymous tropical island, will be released on PC on 30 August, 2011.

The Xbox 360 version, however, will be available in mid-September, though Kalypso hasn't announced a more specific release date than that.

Featuring all new missions, maps and mechanics, Tropic 4 will focus on building the social interaction within the game by allowing players to post their progress on Twitter and Facebook in the PC version.

We'll be meeting up with Kalypso Media over the course of GamesCom 2011, which runs all this week, so we'll certainly try to find out more about the title then.

Let us know your thoughts in the forums.

Loved Tropico 3, but am leery of all this social media integration that seems to be all the rage. I don't do bragging about how far I've got in a game, which seems to be just about all that feature is.

You will probably find out you will be required to create a Facebook or Twitter account in order to play.

loved Tropico 3. Will defintiively pick this up.

Plus the soundtrack and the hilarious lyrics make the game fantastic. Also helps that the game is simply breathtaking.
