A series of Tropico 5 screenshots, which were shown to the media at Gamescom 2013, is now available for the public to enjoy. Tropico 5 was first teased almost two weeks ago and will be heading to the PC and Xbox 360 in April 2014.
The popular dictator sim series will see its newest entry travel through a new timeline, starting in the Colonial era and bringing the island of Tropico into the present, and maybe even the future. There will be plenty of new gameplay features, including cooperative and competitive multiplayer. In addition, this journey won’t be made by El Presidente alone, but rather you’ll be building a dynasty. Each member of El Presidente’s extended family will be present on the island and can be appointed key leadership positions.
Though these screenshots release today are from a pre-alpha build of Tropico 5, you can already see how gorgeous the game looks in its early stages. According to its developer, Tropico 5’s artwork has been reworked to give the title a distinct historic visual identity. Players will be able to choose from over 100 unique buildings from each of the individual eras.
