Kalypso has announced a release date for Tropico 4 on Xbox 360. The game, which was released on PC over the summer, contains 20 new missions across 10 new maps and new game features such as the ability to elect ministers into power to help get your more controversial decisions passed. It’s out on October 18.

Hanging out for Tropico 4 on Xbox 360? Keep a-hangin’, publisher Kalypso Media has confirmed to Joystiq that the game planned for “mid-September” will now be arriving in mid-October.

Specifically, the game should start hitting shelves from October 18th, even though the PC version’s out already. We hear that “although it isn’t radically different in terms of visuals from its predecessor, it’s a better and more focused experience,” in case you were wondering.

Kalypso has written to let us know it’s settled on a launch window for tropical island dictatorship sim, Tropico 4. The latest entry in the series is due on PC on August 30, and will arrive on Xbox 360 in mid September.

Kalypso has sent over some in-game shots from The Dark Eye – Demonicon, showing some of the locations, characters and demons featured in the game. Demonicon tells the tragic love story of two people who become “the pawns of sinister forces in a world full of cruelty and depravity.” Both are constantly threatened by mortal danger and demonic temptation and their common destiny will “determine the fate of the entire continent and will be decided by the choices they make.” Demonicon is scheduled for release in 2012 for Windows PC and consoles, and a playable demo will be on-hand at gamescom next week.
