El Presidente has had a prophetic dream of aliens looking to build an ”intergalactic motorway” right across Tropico, and so the new Tropico 5 Surf’s Up DLC out today enlists the help of mankind’s aquatic chums; the dolphins.
A new sandbox map, avatar accessory, music tracks and The Dolphinarium await in the new add-on. It releases today for PC, Mac and SteamOS for the price of £2.49 / €2.99 / $3.99.
”In the not-too-distant future, Earth is under threat of alien incursion. The only hope for Tropico lies with the wise dolphins of the Pacific Ocean, who hold the power to veto this decision through bureaucracy! The Tropicans of tomorrow have asked El Presidente to utilise the brand new Dolphinarium building in order to attract tourists, make money and save the beautiful sea creatures.”
The new Surf’s Up scenario challenges us to ‘save the dolphins, save the world’. The new music is joined by fresh voice recordings to keep radio Tropico fresh. Tropico 5 introduces the concept of time starting from the colonial era to the modern air-conditioned steel and glass towers.
Recently the Waterborne expansion introduced a whole host of new water-based structures and industries for El Presidente to expand beyond the earthy patriotic soil of Tropico.
Surf’s Up is yet to release on Tropico 5’s Steam store page but should later today.
