Ontwikkelaar Frontier Developments heeft aangekondigd dat Planet Coaster 2 dit najaar verschijnt voor de PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S en pc. De game borduurt verder op de fundering van het origineel en als grote toevoeging is het nu ook mogelijk om een waterpark te bouwen, wat je kan combineren met rollercoasters.

Volgens het aankondigingsbericht zal Planet Coaster 2 in alles groter en beter zijn dan het origineel. Om de gameplay te verbeteren is de bouwtool van een flinke overhaul voorzien, waardoor het meer gedetailleerd en intuïtiever werkt. Daarnaast is de game voorzien van meer thema opties om het persoonlijker en unieker te maken.

De game bestaat uit drie modi: carrière, franchise en sandbox, en deze spreken allemaal wel voor zich als je bekend met de reeks bent. Indien niet, zie de key features onder de trailer voor meer specifieke toelichting.

Tot slot is Planet Coaster 2 voorzien van de Frontier Workshop, waarmee spelers hun creaties kunnen delen met andere spelers.
