Kalypso Media and Realmforge Studios bring another layer to Tropico 6 with the latest DLC, “Going Viral.” PC gamers can jump in now, while console players can get their hands on it come October 26. If you thought being El Presidente was all about politics, you’re in for a reality check. Diseases are on the loose, and it’s your job to keep Tropico from becoming a viral playground.
Gameplay Mechanics Level Up: Diseases, Panic, and Choices
Four different diseases hit Tropico and you’ll need to manage more than just your citizens’ happiness. The DLC introduces the “Panic” mechanic, a gauge that measures how Tropicans feel about these new microscopic threats. Crank up the panic to unlock powerful edicts, or keep a cool head to maintain stability—it’s all on you.
Campaign and Multiplayer Get a Shot of Adrenaline
The DLC doesn’t just bring sickness; it brings new ways to play. Gamers can sink their teeth into a four-mission campaign or battle it out with others on a brand-new multiplayer map. Either way, prepare to put your strategy skills to the ultimate test.
New Buildings and Edicts: Tools for Your Medical Reign
“Going Viral” serves you a dose of nine new buildings and 16 fresh edicts. With this expanded toolkit, you can build anything from a Colossal Hospital to a Healing Howitzer. Want to find infected folks? Drop some Medical Checkpoints. The power to manage Tropico’s healthcare is literally in your hands.
Dress the Part: Customize El Presidente and the Palace
And let’s not forget style; after all, if you’re gonna fight off a pandemic, you better look good doing it. “Going Viral” adds new accessories like the plague doctor for El Presidente and Medical Fencing for your palace. Get ready to handle this crisis in style.
