Update: Feral have also just confirmed that the game will release on iPad on December 18th. An iPhone/Universal release is confirmed for 2019. There’s also a snazzy new trailer we’ve embedded for your enjoyment.
Original Story: Feral Interactive, as well as bringing us excellent mobile ports of Rome: Total War, have also managed to win the rights to bring Tropico to mobile.
Tropico for iPad was announced earlier this year and will officially be a modified version of Tropico 3, and will see you put in charge of an up-and-coming banana republic as el president. You’ll need to develop your economy, keep your citizens in-line, and court the major powers for favours and influence.
“But Pocket Tactics, I really want to know whether my device will run it or not,” said some people, sometimes.
Luckily for you citizen, Feral have published a handy infographic to illustrate what devices are officially supported:
The official summary on the game’s website is:
Tropico will run on any iPad Pro, any iPad released since 2017, and requires iOS 12 or later. You will also need 3GB of free space to install the game.
So it seems even a nine-year old PC game still needs some serious hardware to run.
There’s been no word on when Tropico will release, but we’ll keep you posted.
