Have you ever wondered if you could become the drug kingpin of the world without having to endure the rigors and, presumably, real threat of rusty blades that come with the territory? Well, Becoming Pablo is giving you the chance.
Shows like Narcos have glorified this dangerous world for years, but getting involved is a whole other kettle of…drugs. While it’s not really directly referenced, Becoming Pablo is obviously inspired by arguably the world’s most notorious drug dealer—Pablo Escobar—and you can follow in his footsteps by amassing a grand empire.
You’re always one decision away from a fat stack of cash, wealth, and riches, or the chopping block. The Insider Gaming Showcase reveals more.
What Is Becoming Pablo?
Key Features
- Grand Strategy: Command your cartel while expanding influence through alliances, blackmail, and bribes. In this world, loyalty is the rarest resource.

- Tycoon-Management: Manage detailed operations, from production facilities to
- distribution networks, for your rise to power.
- Base Defense: Defend your territory from rival cartels and law enforcement.

The Studio Behind Becoming Pablo
Tentworks Interactive is a small team that previously made City Block Builder, but is looking to cement itself with the deep Becoming Pablo.
The company’s website says: ‘We embrace the world as our playground, fostering a globally diverse team where you can craft, collaborate, and innovate from anywhere on the globe.’
The team of five has provided multiple dev blogs detailing the process behind Becoming Pablo, and Game Director Priyank Singh provided a nice update on the game: “We can’t thank our community enough for the support and excitement for Becoming Pablo. We are working hard toward our launch this year and truly value your feedback. We encourage everyone to join our Discord and participate in our playtests. Our team is always there, and we would love to hear from you about what else you would like to see in the game.”
