Election time is coming and the winner already is Tropico 7, coming in 2026
Kalypso Media said they had a surprise for fans at Gamescom and they were right as they have revealed Tropico 7, which is coming in 2026. Check out the first trailer for the game below.
Tropico 7 is building on the gameplay that players love, but now is bringing some major new additions to the series. For the first time, players will get to engage with faction leaders, in order to negotiate, charm or even manipulate, in order to stay in 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.
“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. 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!”
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.
The game is aiming to release in 2026 for PC via Steam, Epic Game Store and Windows, along with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game will also be a day one release into Game Pass Ultimate and PC.
