Tropico Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Seattle, Wash. – (April 20, in the year of our Lord 2020)
- Kalypso Media is bursting with pride to announce that tomorrow
marks 20 years of its beloved, majestic, regal, and grandiose
Tropico series! Every Tropican has taken to the streets celebrating,
not revolting and even the ambassadors from other nations are
partying in their prison cells!
With six entries under its belt, the series has come a long way and
in the symphony of Tropico’s history, publisher Kalypso Media has
humbly claimed an instrumental part. Beginning with Tropico 3, the
strategy publisher reanimated the series after many years of slumber
and brought it a new magnificence, most recently with Tropico 6.
To celebrate the jubilee, El Presidente has ordered new free content
for Tropico 6, including a Piñata Llama hunt, new in-game
decorations, fireworks and of course, a sparkly golden palace for
the player's El Presidente or La Presidenta to call home. The
celebrations are two-fold, as the publisher celebrates its own
15-year anniversary later this year. Kalypso Media was started in
April 2006 with two employees. The company now employs 150 people in
four countries.
The Tropico 6 in-game festivities kick off today and will be
available until 5 May on Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Be sure
to update Tropico 6 to ensure you don’t miss out. Of course, a
celebration of this magnitude requires more than just free content,
so Kalypso Media and El Presidente have also let loose a series of
sales across the Kalypso Store, Steam, the Epic Games Store,
PlayStation Store, Microsoft Xbox ‘Deals with Gold’ and Nintendo
eShop.
Over the coming weeks, Kalypso Media will also continue the
celebrations with the launch of Kalypso Blog 2.0, populated with all
the best development tidbits from Tropico’s past and present, as
well as special articles celebrating the publisher’s own 15-year
anniversary.
