Shortly before this year's E3 trade fair, publisher Kalypso Media announced the 6th part of its set-up strategy series. The video too Tropico 6 El Presidente shows us how he sets out to manage his small country in this time of unrest and political grievances. The most important tool, of course, Splitter (Twitter), loosely based on Donald Trump, El Presidente posts under the account name: realElPresidente.

The radio news is also based on reality. Britain’s EU exit and missile testing are the headlines. The banana republic from the Cold War era seems to have arrived in real time. What impact the game will have remains to be seen. Hopefully El Presidente will show the necessary vision and sensitivity to navigate the cliffs of modern media.

Tropico 6 will be released in 2018 for PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Hopefully more details about the game and the developers await us at E3. The E3 is the world's largest games fair at which all major manufacturers are represented. Every year the latest games and hardware trends are presented here. This year, E3 will take place June 13-15, as always in Los Angeles.
