Bracknell, UK – March 18th, 2024 – Feral Interactive has today announced its first foray into VR gaming, with Kalypso Media’s humorous and ever-popular city builder and political sim Tropico releasing for Meta Quest on March 28.
“Kalypso Media is honoured to see our successful long-term partnership with Feral Interactive continuing to evolve, bringing our beloved world of Tropico to a brand-new audience with its first immersive VR experience, allowing fans to step directly into the shoes of El Presidente in an experience unlike anything fans have played before.” said Dr Anika Thun, Managing Director at Kalypso Media.
With a nation’s people crying out for a visionary leader, players will immerse themselves in the world of Tropico and the role of El Presidente in a whole new way. Overseeing construction and jobs, as well as military, trade, and foreign affairs, virtual Presidentes are free to transform the sleepy shores of Tropico into a superpower on the world stage. All aspects of day-to-day life can be shaped to meet the growing expectations of the Tropican people, while balancing competing political demands, overcoming natural disasters, and navigating diplomatic relations.

Using their expertise to bring great games to exciting new platforms, Feral have implemented intuitive VR controls and a variety of movement options to facilitate effortless urban planning and political manoeuvring. Players can build out infrastructure via a powerful user interface and then take a sightseeing tour on the streets of a Caribbean paradise of their own making.
