El Presidente's time travel adventure in Tropico 5 has an official release date of May 23. But it's never so straight-forward with his glorificus.
Penultimo, the ever-loyal toady of Tropico's magnificent ruler, would like to point out there are a few platform and date details to work through here: the May 23 date applies to digital distribution on PC, with the US retail date set for May 27.
Xbox 360 and Mac versions of the game are set for the summer, with a PlayStation 4 planned to keep you warm as the fall chill sets in. El Presidente isn't afraid of trying new things either. He's also got a Steam OS version planned for Steam Machines.

Yesterday, the game developers community talked about GAME_JAM, a failed reality TV show about game jams. It fell apart for a variety of reasons, all better explained by the links in this article.
