20th Anniversary Celebration Video

This video shows the celebration of Tropico's 20-year history. A look back at the Tropico series with nostalgic artwork. This is a celebration video full of festive mode with irony in many places and full of complicating elements.


R Fujimoto's play video highlights

This is a highlight version of the advance play video that was live-streamed on April 13. After showing his DB Geisha spirit by constructing a turtle house on a remote islet, he then went all out to increase the country's power in politics, infrastructure development, and trade. You can enjoy the process of challenging elections through miscalculations and realizations, such as the discovery that a low-productivity site is unexpectedly a one-operator operation, or that the ingredient needed to export cheese is not milk.

Mr. R. Fujimoto, after completing the advance play.


As announced in the congratulatory video, the company plans to deliver content that looks back on the 20th anniversary in the future. Let's look forward to it.
