[Console] Planet Coaster 2 - Wiki

[Aronus]

Planet Coaster 2 is an upcoming construction and management simulation video game developed and published by Frontier Developments. It is a sequel to Planet Coaster (2016). The game is set to be released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X on 6 November 2024.

As a sequel to 2016's Planet Coaster, Planet Coaster 2 is set to expand upon its predecessor with improved building tools, water park building and management, and event sequencing gameplay.[1] Like its predecessor, the game features career, sandbox, and challenge mode.[2] Cross-platform cooperative gameplay has been added,[3] with players able to visit other parks online, or build a new one together asynchronously.[4]

The game features many returning systems from Planet Coaster, which have been re-built using feedback from the first game. This includes the pathing system, which has been changed from a piece-by-piece building system to a draw system.[5] New utilities for building scenery pieces have also been added, including object scaling and mirroring/twinning, and the ability to add scenery pieces directly to rides and roller coasters.[6]

Prior to Planet Coaster 2, Frontier Developments was working on the F1 Manager series, and Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, but both titles underperformed, contributing to layoffs in an organizational review.[7] This also changed the company's strategy from diversifying the game portfolio to refocusing on the management simulation genre, which had previously led them success.[8]

The game's title was leaked in June 2024, when an unofficial site tracking games on the Epic Games Store revealed an upcoming title by Frontier Developments titled Planet Coaster 2.[9] The game was formally revealed on 11 July 2024 with its first official trailer,[10] and had a gameplay reveal on 31 July 2024 in a Frontier Unlocked livestream.[11] It is set to release on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X on 6 November 2024.[12]
