Kalypso Media's city builder sim Tropico 5 is now available for free download over on Epic Games Store. The offer will expire tomorrow, 24 December 2020.

Tropico 6's Lobbyistico DLC is now available for the dictators who own a PC. Those with a PS4 or Xbox One will have to wait a bit longer. The DLC's launch coincides with Tropico 6's free weekend.

Kalypso Media have delayed Tropico 6 once again and this time around it's for an additional two months. The new release date is 29 March 2019 and the delay has apparently been caused by troubling feedback following closed beta testing.

The year 2018 wasn't overly generous when it comes to strategy games but 2019 promises to change that significantly. We at AltChar have a few strategy-loving no-lifers of our own, so here's a neat little strategy game timeline for 2019.

Oh yeah - El Presidente is back in Tropico 6 with a gorgeous new trailer and Limbic Entertainment announced that the game launches on Steam in January 2019, while console versions, presumably PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will come later.
