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! 🌴

Merry El Presidentmas everyone!
El Presidente gifts you with El Presidentmas!
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!
El Prez wants you to nominate Tropico 6 for the 'Labor of Love' Award

El Presidente is thrilled to be in the running for this year’s Steam Awards, and demands nothing less than absolute success for Tropico.

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!)

A devious case of missing Tropicans
A devious case of missing Tropicans
Mastermind and Detective par excellence, El Presidente, has noticed his citizens have started to go missing and has sent his best intern Penultimo to investigate the case. After a week of thorough research and Tropican-Stalking, Penultimo has sent back 2 pieces of evidence, which hint towards a foreign invasion of Tropico, whose ultimate evil powers seem to be luring harmless citizens on „Dungeon Tours“ and turning them into weird little green things.
Rumor has it, the master of said Dungeon has come to challenge El Presidentes position as the worlds greatest dictator. Penultimo promised to infiltrate said Dungeon, but has yet to return….
In the meantime, you can now build your own 4th Dungeon Entrance in Tropico 6!
In case you too would like to join the evil forces, you can hop into the Dungeon and find out more here: https://dungeons4-game.com/

With this insight into their level of panic, will you raise the alarm to exploit the fear of your citizens or keep the population calm in the face of a potentially deadly threat? With the addition of these new viruses, the afflicted residents will experience severe harm, while others will only experience mild symptoms. As the fearless leader, pull the strings to keep the pandemic in check with nine new buildings and 16 new edicts. Build the Colossal Hospital to increase your medical capacities and place medical checkpoints to find infected individuals. Fight the plague in style with the new outfit option for El Presidente - the Plague Mask accessory. You will be perfectly prepared for any and all destruction this pandemic brings to Tropico.
