Tropico 7 Announced
Family Friendly Gaming News
Seattle, WASH - August 21, in the year of our Lord 2025
– Kalypso Media and in-house developer Gaming Minds Studios have
lifted the curtain (no, not the iron one) on Tropico 7, the next
evolution of the award-winning city-building series. 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 and Creative Director at
Gaming Minds Studios. “This isn’t just a sequel, it’s the
ultimate sandbox for would-be dictators. El Presidente would
say: ‘The best Tropico ever — because it’s mine!’”
Tropico 7 builds on the series’ iconic formula and introduces
major new features. For the first time, the new council puts El
Presidente face-to-face with faction leaders to negotiate,
manipulate, or charm his way to power. More opinions, more chaos
— all of which El Prez can completely overlook. Aspiring
autocrats can now mold their island with the new Terraforming
feature: raise land, reroute rivers or create shiny new parks —
because vanity is the best policy.
But that’s not all: The new political affiliation system let you
pick an individual dictatorship style which unlocks fitting
edicts to keep Tropicans happy (or terrified) enough to comply,
supported by a beefed-up military system — featuring a special
new tactical addition El Prez is currently working on.
And when strategy alone isn't enough, you know what to do:
unleash strategic mischief, deploy agents, stage PR stunts, or
simply dazzle the masses with El Presidente’s legendary
charisma. Rule with style – and satisfaction.
Tropico 7 is scheduled for release 2026 and will be available
with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and on PC (Steam,
Epic Games), Xbox on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation®5.
