Tropico 5 demo on PS4 now, Waterborne expansion next week
This is a demo I've been waiting for. Tropico 5 will now let you sample those totalitarian, city-building goods on PlayStation 4. I'm downloading it now, so I'm not certain if the demo gives you, say, 30-minutes on the clock, or if it gives you free rein but locks down most of the menus. We'll see.
Developer Haemimont Games also announces Tropico 5's first expansion, Waterborne, launching next week. It introduces new gameplay features and enhancements, like water traffic, larger coastal areas, and new events to keep you on your toes. There's an all-new six-scenario campaign, with new dialogue and story, that'll show you what marina life is all about.
The Tropico 5 demo is out now on PS4. Waterborne will be $19.99 (ouch), launching June 17.
Here are a ton of screenshots publisher Kalypso sent over that don't appear to have any Waterborne content.
El Presidente welcomes all visitors with today's Tropico 5 demo, and alerts residents to prepare for "Waterborne," the first major expansion for Tropico 5 on PS4 systems
Ridgewood, NJ – June 9, 2015 – The borders of Tropico are now open to all PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system owners. The Tropico 5 demo for the PlayStation®4 system offers a sneak peek at the vast universe of Tropico. The single player demo contains the game tutorial, two campaign missions, one sandbox scenario, and a modest population cap of 500 Tropicans.
The reception of Tropico 5 from PlayStation® strategy players has exceeded expectations with its launch and reached into Top 10 categories across the globe. Though as any long-time Tropico resident will tell you, El Presidente won't rest until all the world's subjects become Tropican, and in turn help El Presidente fill his Swiss Bank account and cement his dynastic rule. To increase the population of Tropico, and to add to his own wealth and power of course, El Presidente invites all PS4 system owners to visit the Isle of Tropico with the launch of today's demo, free of charge. You can find the demo for Tropico 5 here later today!

The "Waterborne" expansion will be available on June 17 for $19.99 via the PlayStation®Store.
