Anno and Frostpunk can pack up: Get the celebrated building game as a free gift for a limited time

Strategy fans are actually looking forward to rosy times, as there are some real highlights planned for the near future. The much-heralded Civilization 7 is already casting its huge shadow, and the equally eagerly awaited Anno 117: Pax Romana will also be released next year. Another hit candidate, Frostpunk 2, will soon be released. However, if you don’t want to wait that long, you should definitely visit the GOG.com online shop. There is a great free gift waiting for all hobby strategists – but not for much longer.

What exactly is GOG.com?

The digital distribution platform GOG.com was launched in 2008. The team behind it is CD Projekt, which has made a name for itself with games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As the term “Good Old Games” suggests, the original aim was to offer older games without annoying DRM measures that were no longer available in traditional retail stores. Over the years, the range has grown significantly. In addition, there are always attractive free gifts available – as in the current case. What game gift can you expect at the moment?

Great free gift is ready

You can currently download the construction strategy game Tropico 4 completely free of charge from the GOG.com online shop. Once you have linked it to your account, it is yours forever. The title was originally released in 2011, but fortunately it hasn’t lost much of its fascination despite its age. As with your predecessors, you take on the role of the dictator named El Presidente, who wants to expand his rule on an otherwise idyllic Caribbean island. The program not only involves building and expanding the state, but also topics such as bribery and propaganda.

In order to download the full version of Tropico 4 completely free of charge, you first have to visit the corresponding product page at GOG.com. There you put the game in your shopping cart and complete the “purchase” as usual. After completing the download, you can keep the somewhat wacky construction game forever. However, you have to hurry, because the free promotion only runs until August 29, 2024 at 3:00 pm German time. After that, the normal retail price will apply again.
