PC-exclusive Tropico 3 bound for 360

Previously PC-only strategy game jumps to camp Microsoft
PC-exclusive strategy game, Tropico 3, is now also planned for a 360 launch, Kalypso Media has confirmed.

"Tropico 3 stays true to the heart and soul of the original Tropico," says Kalypso which, based on the previous titles, means you can expect a strategy game in which you take control of a tropical island.

According to the publisher, "one of the most prominent features of the sequel is your own, freely customizable avatar. This time, you will be able to slip into the clothes of El Presidente, wander about Tropico Island and directly influence your people."

Stefan Marcinek, global managing director for Kalypso Media Group said: "The Tropico 3 release on the Xbox 360 is a first for Kalypso and marks the beginning of an exciting entry into the console market.

"Throughout 2010 Kalypso Media have plans to release four titles in tandem on both the Xbox 360 and PC. Through this we will be able to demonstrate our strong PC Line up with new multiplatform games and this gives us some great opportunities for the year ahead."

The game's due out in September. The screens below are of the PC version.

Looks very, very pretty. The sort of game to play on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I'll keep my eye on this one, for sure.

Was only xbox 360 speculation, as on the youtube launch trailer they put out, it also had xbox 360 in the search tag part.

But glad they are makin this on the xbox 360, For the first time tropico goes 3d, and it looks amazing. Cannot wait, For sure.

Wow what a way to kick off a fan boy war. Honestly don't spark ******** like that until the facts come out.

You are generous, I would give 1/10 for effort and a detention for execution. In fact I would be referring xboxrulez to a special school for 1 to 1 tutoring. Even with this I don't hold out much hope.....

To save others the Google - it looks like 1 & 2 were only released as non-English (German?) titles. At least on www.tropico.de the link to the first Tropico seems to be only in German, with no English link/version obvious. The link to Tropico 2 on there is broken. QA? ;)
