Frontier Developments Partners With Disney for New Management Sim
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Planet Coaster developer Frontier Developments has teamed up with Disney to create a brand new management simulation game, with industry speculation pointing toward a theme park tycoon experience.
Frontier Developments, the studio behind Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, and Jurassic World Evolution, has signed a major multi-year deal with Disney to develop a new game based on one of the entertainment giant's massive intellectual properties. While official details remain under wraps, the studio has built its stellar reputation on intricate management simulations and builder games. Given that pedigree, industry speculation heavily points toward a dedicated theme park management experience that lets players build and run their own version of Disneyland.
Frontier CEO Jo Cooke noted in a recent press release that the partnership aligns with the studio's clearly defined strategy of developing and nurturing world-class creative management simulation franchises. Of course, Disney's vast portfolio also spans Marvel, Star Wars, and other massive global properties. That opens the door for plenty of creative directions, even if a classic park builder remains the most natural fit for the studio's specific genre expertise.
As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, this new Disney project is entirely separate from the mysterious new Planet franchise game currently slated for a fiscal year 2028 release. For players who love deep builder economies and community driven design spaces, this collaboration brings together one of the best simulation developers in the industry and the most iconic entertainment brand in the world. We will be watching closely to see how Frontier balances its signature simulation depth with the massive expectations of the Disney audience.
