Tropico 6 Lobbyistico DLC on Consoles

Kalypso Media has released the politically-charged ‘Lobbyistico’ DLC for Tropico 6 on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One. The Lobbyistico DLC brings the European Union and big league politics to the fair isles of Tropico, in- troducing a range of new features to the game like the new ‘Corruption’ gameplay mechanic, three new build- ings, personality traits for your Presidente, new music tracks and extra customization options for your avatar and palace residence.

Information: What do the European Union and corruption have in common? Nothing, of course, since the EU is as pure as a drop of finest Tropican rum. So why not run a field study and get to know more about this curious political entity; and why not run it from the great nation of Tropico, so famously governed by corrupt politicians (ex- cept for El Presidente, of course)? Join the EU in their investigations into ‘corruptionomics’ and unlock power- ful new perks in Tropico 6 - Lobbyistico DLC.

Corruption lies at the heart of the Lobbyistico DLC. Invite faction leaders as lobbyists into the El Presidente Club and conduct backroom politics to unlock a unique new set of perks to boost the economy and manipu- late faction standings. However, with increased lobby work comes increased corruption, all of which will impact the wider Tropican economy and society.

Enjoy two new traits, three music tracks and a fetching new set of customization items for El Prez and his palace.
