Combining my own opinion and the response we had from thousands of dedicated beta players around the world, Kalypso has decided to postpone the release of the game for another couple of months to March 29, 2019.

We know this is short notice and many of you, especially the ones who have pre-ordered, played the beta and gave such comprehensive and valued feedback, might be disappointed – but we think we can make the game better by adding some more icing on the Tropican cake.

Kalypso and Limbic are working hard to add as many of the community requests for enhanced features and gameplay as possible into the release version of the game. But we cannot do this overnight, and want to present the best possible Tropico experience to the fans of the franchise.

Features like pathfinding, a challenging multiplayer and the comprehensive simulation not only of each individual Tropican, but of the whole economy, are already implemented well, but could benefit from more balancing, testing and enhancement to meet our very high quality standards for Tropico 6.

Again, I apologize for the delay, and can only ask all fans for their patience and understanding as we put in even more work, with the hope that the game will meet your expectations on March 29, 2019.

As a loyalty bonus and reward for your patience, all customers who have pre-ordered the game by 7pm (CET) January 10th, 2019 via our own Kalypso Shop, Steam and other digital platforms, will receive the first DLC, planned for Q2 2019, free of charge.

Yours sincerely

Simon Hellwig, Owner and Managing Director of Kalypso Media Group



PS: Of course, you can always return or refund your pre-order if you prefer.

What was the general consensus on the beta? Or is it under nda?

I didn't qualify for the beta because I had less than 100 hours in Tropico 5. Now I have over 100 hours in Tropico 3, 4 & 5.

I just pre-ordered it a couple of days ago. Oh well, I'll be plenty occupied with other games around the original release date anyway.

Do console players still get the first dlc free if they pre-order by that January date?

Or is this just a concession for PC players for the delay?

Interesting decision considering Anno supposedly releases in February. Was the beta disappointing?

My understanding is this is for PC orders
