Modern Times will soon be coming to the Tropico 4 universe, providing El Presidente with a new challenge to tackle. Hopefully he’s not too afraid of change.

Set for release sometime in March, the Tropico 4: Modern Times expansion will see the polarizing leader facing off against an underground threat, which could very well ruin his island paradise. In order to overcome this dangerous foe and its dire agenda, players must modernize their nation and battle the evildoers.

This expansion will retail for $19.99 on PC and 1200 Microsoft Points on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Here’s a list of what you can expect:

Make Tropico fit for the 21st century: Evolve the island from the Cold War era to modern times and even into the future.

30 new buildings become available as time progresses, including condos, skyscrapers, organic ranches and biofarms. Replace obsolete buildings with these modern and inspiring designs.

Upgrade old buildings to new variants – modernized apartment buildings, banks, museums and much more.

10 new edicts allow even more control over your citizens’ lives. Block or limit citizens’ Internet use, create a police state or be a “good guy” and launch the Festival of Love edict.

New single player campaign comprised of 12 comprehensive scenario missions. Protect Tropico from unseen and sinister forces.

The times are changing and the island nation of Tropico is evolving. The Internet, a New World Order, terrorists, global financial markets and space exploration are on the rise and pose new challenges to El Presidente and his regime in Tropico 4: Modern Times.

Old buildings and structures are becoming obsolete and need to be upgraded or even replaced by their modern counterparts. Cars and transportation need modernization to meet the needs of a changing economy; and now El Presidente can even send people to the International Space Station! El Presidente and his ministers must now join the war against terror and control Internet regulation and freedom of speech on Tropico.
