Mark your calendars for April 22 if you’re a fan of Planet Coaster 2, because Frontier Developments is rolling out a major update that promises to bring some exciting new features to the game. Update 4 is on its way, and it’s set to make some pretty significant additions.
There’s been an interesting disparity in how Planet Coaster 2 has been received. Despite the critics giving it a respectable score of 77 on OpenCritic, player reviews have been more varied. While the overall reception has been mixed, recent reviews are trending towards mostly positive, indicating that the game is finding its footing after its initial launch.
In a recently released YouTube video, Frontier Developments highlighted some of the exciting features coming with Update 4. Restaurants are finally making their debut in the game, which is something every theme park management sim lover can rejoice over. On April 22, players will be given the chance to either choose from several themed restaurant blueprints or design their own eateries from the ground up. Pool color customization is another eagerly awaited feature, allowing players to pick and match colors for the water and the tiles, adding a personal touch to their aquatic attractions.
The latest update is also enhancing the game’s Workshop support, adding new sections for Featured Creators and Featured Creations. This will streamline the process for players to discover and download top-notch community-made content. But that’s not all—there are promises of further improvements to Franchise mode, a bunch of new de-themed coasters for those who love customizing, and more scenery pieces to play around with.
Looking beyond Update 4, Frontier Developments seems to have big plans for Planet Coaster 2, though they’re keeping details under wraps for now. Fans eager for more can get a sneak peek by tuning in to the next Frontier Unlocked livestream on April 30. Considering the recent release of the Thrill-Seekers Ride Pack DLC back in December, it’s likely we’re in for more downloadable content in the future, given Frontier’s history of expanding their games.
So, as April 22 approaches, excitement is in the air. Players of Planet Coaster 2 have plenty to look forward to as this beloved sequel continues to evolve with each new update. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates and keep riding the excitement wave as this enthralling theme park simulator grows and develops.
