Tropico 3 Announced Following Series Acquisition
by Nick Breckon, Nov 14, 2008 2:30pm PST
Publisher Kalypso Media announced earlier today that Bulgarian studio Haemimont Games will be developing Tropico 3, a PC sequel to the Caribbean-themed construction and management simulator.
Kalypso acquired the rights to the series from Take-Two, and is now positioning the project for a summer 2009 release.
The team notes that the game will be based on the original Tropico, and is promising "state-of-the-art graphics, complex gameplay similar to the other titles in the series and a comprehensive multiplayer mode."
"The Tropico series is a great IP which we are excited to continue," said Kalypso Media's managing director Simon Hellwig.

I very much enjoyed the first one but I never picked up the Paradise Island expansion pack and the reviews of the second one were so poor I steered clear.
Here's hoping there's more of what made the first one so great and much less of what sank the sequel. Oh, and the music. Loved the music.
Multiplayer? I wonder if you'll play on the same island, or get to trade with and invade each others?
One thing I wish the original one had was more of a sense of the island's place in the world. Both for trade purposes but also cold war politics -- threaten to invite in Russian "advisers" to get aid from the U.S., or vice versa. (And if you piss one or the other off too much, you get invaded a la Granada).
