Frontier already saw a massive success with their first Planet Coaster game with its release in 2016, and the new announcement trailer for Planet Coaster 2 is a strong indicator they’ve set out to do it again with the sequel – only bigger, better and…wetter. Planet Coaster 2 is set for a fall 2024 release window and is available to pre-order now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Not only will the sequel allow players to build the theme park of their dreams, this time around players will also be able to make a splash with water-based ride creation, which was a highly requested feature for the predecessor.
