In times of political turmoil and social unrest, the people are calling out for a visionary leader, one who will steer the fate of their country with foresight and ingenuity

Face new challenges on the international stage and always keep the needs of your people in mind, in spite of any negative press covfefe.

Tropico 6 represents a bold new lease of life for the much-loved series, with the developer (Limbic Entertainment at the time) bringing exciting new ideas to El Presidente’s highly-polished table, as well as a stunning new engine developed in Unreal Engine 4.

For the first time in the series, manage extensive archipelagos, build bridges to connect your islands and establish new means of transportation and infrastructure. Send your agents on raids to steal the wonders of the world, including the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. Customize your palace at will and give election speeches from your balcony, to win the favor of your subjects.

Publisher Kalypso Media and in-house developer Realmforge Studios are excited to announce the newest DLC for Tropico 6, "Going Viral".

In this DLC players will have the chance to step into El Presidente's shoes and delve into the world of pandemics, and the chaos of political maneuvering to either conquer or capitalize on the diseases.

El Presidente and Penultimo (mostly El Presidente) have also decided to bestow emergency powers of creating and playing in-game mods to the masses. After discussing with the Mod.io ambassadors, El Prez simply couldn’t keep these exciting possibilities from his loyal fans. The mods will be hosted on the Mod.io website and will be downloadable via an in-game menu across the Steam, Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store and GOG versions. The kit to create these mods has been rolled out for PC for free on the Epic Games Store or can be acquired from El Presidente directly (for a small handling fee of 1,000 Tropican Dollars). A series of videos prepared by Tropico’s Department of Education, hosted on the Kalypso_live Youtube channel, will teach those new to modding how to create mods for Tropico 6. 

If you have more questions, feel free to head over to the Kalypso Media Discord server.

However, not all is well... As Tropico prepares for an unprecedented crisis in El Presidente’s latest DLC adventure, Tropico 6 – Going Viral, players must navigate the delicate balance between safeguarding their nation's health and seizing unique opportunities. As the leader of Tropico, you will face unprecedented challenges, including the emergence of deadly diseases, the implementation of quarantine measures, and a political landscape rife with new friends and old enemies. How will you respond when faced with the choice of saving lives or exploiting the chaos for your gain?

Tropico 6 - Going Viral Features: 

• Find the cure, with Tropico 6 – Going Viral: 4 different diseases hit Tropico and disrupt daily life; some may severely harm your citizens, others may be just a mild cough *cough*.  
• Pull the strings & keep control in a 4 mission-campaign or fight the diseases on a new multiplayer map. 
• Stay calm… or don’t! Influence the masses with the new “Panic” mechanic. The panic meter measures how the Tropican citizens feel about the diseases. High panic allows for more powerful edicts to be enacted. Should you raise the alarm in order to exploit the situation with powerful edicts, or keep the population calm in the face of a potentially deadly threat? 
• Inject first, ask later: A host of 16 exciting new edicts will be unlocked as your panic meter rises and will give you different ways in which to exploit the disease in Tropico: Inject first, ask questions later, mandate masks, or choose to gear up for a viral palace party, it’s all up to you, El Presidente! 
• Managing the disease: 9 new buildings will change the way you manage Tropico and how you deal with outbreaks and diseases. Use the Healing Howitzer to speedily distribute the cure to your Tropicans or build the new Colossal Hospital to increase your medical capacities and place Medical Checkpoints on the streets to find infected people.  
  In addition, during the campaign a curious quack will also help you manage the disease in Ambrosius’ Magic Hut. 
• Fight the plague in style with new design options for El Presidente & the palace! With new accessories like the plague doctor for El Presidente or the Medical Fencing for your palace, you'll be perfectly prepared. 

Tropico 6 – Going Viral will be released on October 12th for PC and on October 26th for  Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4|5.
