Rule the waves and get ready to expand your nation into the ocean!
El Presidente is fed up of the boring soil of dry-land and now his latest initiative takes the island of Tropico into the great frontier of the deep blue sea.
Prepare to explore a brand new industry and reap the rewards of innovation, as ‘Waterborne’, the first major expansion for the PS4 version of infamous city-builder/political sim Tropico 5, is out now to download via the PlayStation Store.
Whatever type of Presidente you are, ‘Waterborne’ challenges players to expand their nation into the unknown waters of adventurous opportunity and fully harness the power of the ocean. Develop an exotic housing market with luxury floating apartments and do your bit for the good of the planet by constructing eco-friendly wave power sources. Or use the sea as another armed front for your empowering military force and bolster the army with a fearsome naval presence.
Check a selection of screenshots for Tropico 5 ‘Waterborne’ here for a look at the water-based game mechanics and content features included in the expansion such as water traffic, larger coastal areas, new events and lots of buildings to make use of.
It’s time to get nautical - the future of Tropico lies on its shores! Harness the vast potential of the sea by constructing waterborne structures around your island. Build brand new off-shore alternatives to defence, food, energy, entertainment and even housing – which each come with their own set of opportunities and disadvantages. Organise and coordinate transport to structures like the kelp and oyster farms, construct tidal power plants as an eco-friendly alternative to nuclear power and build gorgeous floating apartments if you’re running out of space on the island! Launch military submarines to bolster your naval forces or create an exotic bathysphere attraction to compliment your bustling tourist paradise.
