Tropico 6 [Steam] is slated to release next year with day-1 Linux support, here's the latest video straight out of Gamescom.

I must admit, something about Tropico 5 didn't really click with me in the end. I'm hoping this one will, as the older titles I do have fond memories of. I will likely give this a review when the time is right.
It's pleasing to know that Kalypso Media will continue to publish Linux games!
About the game:
Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.In times of political turmoil and social unrest, the people are calling for visionary leaders, who will steer the fate of their country with foresight and ingenuity. Prove yourself once again as a feared dictator or peace-loving statesman on the island state of Tropico and shape the fate of your very own banana republic through four distinctive eras.

Send your Tropicans on raids to steal the wonders of the world, including the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. Customize your palace at will and give election speeches from your balcony, to win the favor of your subjects.

Kalypso is quickly turning into another publisher like Paradox, though mysteriously we never got Urban Empire. Though looking at the reviews on Steam, maybe that's a good thing?
I will likely pickup T6 as I own the previous iterations however I am getting a little bored with the lack of innovation so I am hoping this game will offer something new to spice it up a bit.

I like how they don't add too much fancy stuff to each game just to attract new players, but I also find the first games more charming than the new ones. I loved T2.

Linux and MacOS is definitely on the list. It will be a simultaneous release for Windows, MacOS, Linux, PS4 and XBox.

The reporters have inquired. The developer answered that they have the necessary experience for this and because of the Unreal Engine also do not have to start at zero.
Have over 100h in Tropico5. Excited. :)

I have every Tropico game released so far, along with every DLC & I have yet to play a single one of them, I will be buying Tropico 6 so it'll get added to the list of games I really need get on with playing.
Ha, I have played a bit of the first and was amazed at how well the 5th plays with the Steam Controller, but beyond playing those two for an hour or so, I am in the same boat where I own all of them, but haven't really played them.

Tropico 5 looks great but I haven’t managed to even finish the tutorial due to the over-complexity and lack of fun. Hopefully T6 will be different enough… (and released on GOG!)Really? I'm sometimes fed up with too complex games, but Tropico 5 is none of them! It's quite easy to start since all the options are quite limited at first they evolve throughout the game.
