Things kick off for Tropico 3
Up until now, when someone wanted to experience the life of a citybuilding, rum distilling, cigar smoking dictator that person had to either establish his own banana republic - difficult feat to accomplish - or play Tropico: Paradise Island, and/or it's successor Tropico 2: Pirate Cove.
Kalypso Media however has now acquired the rights to Tropico 3 from Take 2. For the development of the game the publisher knocked on the Bulgarian Haemimont Games's door. Together they promise to deliver state-of-the-art graphics and complex gameplay.
Simon Hellwig, Managing Director at Kalypso Media is ambitious:
I only hope they don't compete with themselves too much in a niche that might not be as big as they initially believed. Kalypso Media namely will also be publishing that other city-building game Imperium Romanum II, also in cooperation with Haemimont.

The Tropico series is a great IP which we are excited to continue. The game will be the biggest project Kalypso has realized so far in its short history and we are focussing on achieving a worldwide PC hit with this brand. The acquisition of Tropico along with other key licenses is fundamental to our future growth.
