Tycoon fans can shortly be "making it big" in Manhattan, as today Atari confirmed that Tycoon City: New York has gone gold and is on schedule for a European release on February 24th.

"These days, property is the hottest game to get into, and Tycoon City: New York offers everyone a chance to test their skills - with no mortgage brokers getting in the way!" said Bill Carroll, producer, Atari, Inc. "With over two dozen in-game partners, world-renowned landmarks and true-to-life neighbourhoods, Tycoon City: New York puts players in the thick of the action in the world's most exciting city."

Set within a highly detailed 3D representation of New York City, players start from the humble beginnings of a budding entrepreneur and must establish a Manhattan empire by creating, upgrading and customising more than 100 types of businesses based on the needs of 65,000 virtual New Yorkers.

TVG has worked closely with Deep Red Games during the development of Tycoon City: New York and will have the concluding chapter in the Developer Diaries very shortly; for previous coverage make sure to check out the Game Index page.
