Popular management sim Tropico 6 has been officially confirmed for Nintendo Switch.
The game will be treated to a release on Nintendo's hybrid machine thanks to a new publishing partnership deal between Koch Media and Kalypso Media. Rumours of a Switch release began to circulate back in January after a product listing for the game was spotted on a Greek retailer's website, but the release hadn't been mentioned in any official capacity until now.
The two German companies say that the new agreement covers Kalyspo's "full pipeline of products", including Switch editions of Tropico 6, Railway Empire and Commandos 2 - HD Remaster.
No release date has been announced just yet, but this could well be one to keep an eye on. Our friends over at Push Square awarded last year's PS4 version an 8/10, calling it "one of PlayStation 4's best strategy games".

That is a dream. Probably the Switch will be the console with the most games in the whole history.
Was playing Northguard over the weekend and thought Tropicio would be a great game to have on the Switch
Tropico’s cool, but I need Commandos 2!
Gimme gimme gimme.
@setezerocinco yeah and with the worst online store to browse through them
@MaxlRoseGNR Someone's never used the PS Store then.
@MaxlRoseGNR I just buy physical, so this is really not a problem for me. But I respect your pain.
Nice. Always down for some iron fist ruling.
The amount of times my heart jumped from joy this month regarding switch announcements...
@earthb0und Gotta say i find Cities: Skylines on Switch pretty damn fun. Sure It's a graphical downgrade but i for one love portable gaming so much that i can accept a graphical downgrade pretty easily.
These are great news! Building-sims on Switch is what i've been craving! Railway Empire looks pretty sweet as well, even if i might mainly just want to watch the trains haha
Edit: There's actually a mobile port of Tropico 3 by Saber Interactive and i was hoping they would bring that over to Switch. But Tropico 6 is even better!
@Maboo You can say that again. Love it!
Yeahhhhhhhhh i was dreaming for this And for xcom 2
Had a feeling this game was going to come over. It’s on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mac and Linux. Tropico is everywhere, El Presidente!
YES commandos 2!!! I’ve wanted the commandos games and Gangsters to get porter for switches for ages now. This is 1 out of 3.
Commando's 2 sounded interesting, but the Steam reviews dont look favourable
Is this game like city skyline? Or different?
@The-Chosen-one it’s completely different. The scale isn’t as big as in CS. It’s way smaller, but you reign like a dictator... or not. Whichever way you want it.
The political skills of El Presidente have been proven once more! Only their magnificent acumen could have achieved this tremendous feat!
Viva Tropico! Vote El Presidente! Or else...
YES! It’s like someone is reading my wishlist.
This is great! I haven't played Tropico since the first game on PC, but it's the kind of game I'd love to see on Switch. I'll be watching for it.
@MaxlRoseGNR neither the Xbox One or PS4 have a very good store either.
@nuovian @ballistic90 I loved the colourful Wii U store. It had music, ratings, categories. All gone.
@MaxlRoseGNR True. It was on the slow side, though. It feels like store UI is not on anyone's radar for improvement right now, though.
Yes please!
If it runs as good as Civs VI does I'll buy it straight away!
