Get ready, fans of Planet Coaster 2—April 22 is the big day! Frontier Developments is set to drop a significant update for the game, packed with exciting new features. This major update is bound to enhance your gaming experience, promising a bunch of game-changing additions.
There’s been a bit of a mixed reaction to Planet Coaster 2 since its release. Critics, for instance, have been generally positive, awarding it a Top Critic Average score of 77 according to OpenCritic. However, player reviews have been less consistent. Initially met with “Mixed” reviews, the feedback has increasingly leaned toward “Mostly Positive,” a sign that the game is improving and finding its footing as time progresses.
In an exciting preview video, Frontier Developments offered a glimpse into some of the highlights of the upcoming Update 4. Fans will finally get the much-anticipated addition of restaurants—a staple feature for any standout theme park management game. With the new update, players can both pick from various themed blueprints and construct custom dining spots from the ground up. On top of that, the update introduces pool color customization, allowing for a personalized touch with water and tile colors.
Rolling out on April 22, Update 4 brings some tweaks to Planet Coaster 2’s Workshop support as well. Two new sections—Featured Creators and Featured Creations—are designed to streamline the process of discovering and downloading community-created content. But that’s not all; the developers have packed this update with other exciting enhancements like updates to Franchise mode, new coaster customization options, more scenery pieces, and additional surprises.
Looking beyond Update 4, Frontier Developments seems to have more ambitious plans lined up for Planet Coaster 2’s future. While they’re keeping tight-lipped for now, fans should mark their calendars for the next Frontier Unlocked livestream on April 30. This event promises more insights into upcoming developments for the game. The most recent DLC, the Thrill-Seekers Ride Pack, dropped in December, and given Frontier Development’s history of expansions, it wouldn’t be shocking to see more DLC on the horizon.
