Watch On
Planet Coaster 2 could have endured some ups and downs when it launched again in October, however Frontier Developments’ post-release help for its theme-park constructing sequel has been as regular as a lazy river. January introduced improved flume simulation to the sequel’s all-new waterslides, whereas February added video billboards gamers can create their very own customized adverts for. Now, Frontier has unveiled its roadmap for the following few updates touchdown over the spring, and there are some substantial new options being added to the administration sim within the coming months.
Probably the most imminent replace, which lands later this month, provides much more flexibility to flume development. Replace 3 will increase the number of motion of company and rafts on particular flume items, improves the looks of company jettisoning off flumes, and provides “inflatable deformation”, so rafts will bend and squash in a plausible method as they whizz round a slide. On prime of this, it additionally provides “round-bottomed flumes”, a phrase which immediately precipitated a sure, similarly-named Queen music to start out enjoying in my head, like activating a sleeper agent obsessive about seventies glam rock.
April’s replace 4, in the meantime, brings a complete new characteristic to Planet Coaster 2—in-park eating places. Gamers will be capable of construct eating places of their park to take a seat alongside the smaller meals stalls, which can “fulfill a number of company’ wants and tolerances”. The outline is considerably obscure, however since guests purchase foods and drinks individually from stalls, it is potential consuming in a restaurant means they will get each on the identical time, which would supply the mechanical impetus to assemble a extra advanced consuming institution.
This is not every part the updates will add. Each patches will convey new rides to Planet Coaster 2. Alongside a bevy of inventory coasters, replace 3 will let gamers construct the Vector inverting suspended rollercoaster, whereas replace 4 will add an as-yet unrevealed experience alongside its eating places. Replace 3 additionally heralds the return of the ‘Western’ park theme from the dusty plains of obscurity, letting you construct a rootin’, tootin’, coaster shootin’ park simply as you can within the unique Planet Coaster. Each updates can even make “ongoing” enhancements to efficiency, stability, economic system administration, alongside extra particular elements of the simulation like experience attendants.
There is a video that includes Frontier devs speaking by means of the roadmap and replace 3 you could view above. April would not characterize the top of help for Planet Coaster 2, with additional, unspecified adjustments and additions coming in Could. For now, although, you possibly can count on replace 3 to land on March 20.
