First Expansion for Tropico 5 Announced

Explore the full potential of the ocean industry in ‘Waterborne,’ the first major expansion for the city-builder/political sim Tropico 5. The expansion features water based game mechanics for the first time in the history of the series and comes with new features and enhancements, such as water traffic, larger coastal areas and new events.

Build brand new offshore alternatives for defense, food, energy, entertainment and even housing. Organize and coordinate transport to production buildings like the Oyster and Kelp farms, construct tidal power plants as an eco-friendly alternative to nuclear power and build luxurious floating apartments. Launch military submarines to bolster your naval forces – or create an exotic bathysphere attraction to compliment your bustling tourist paradise. The ‘Waterborne’ expansion for Tropico 5 includes an all-new campaign spanning six scenarios, new dialogue and story. Plus, all new content and offshore gameplay works with existing sandbox maps and multiplayer modes.

‘Waterborne’ for Tropico 5 will be available to download for PC via Steam on December 17th for $19.99.
