ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON WORLD ANNOUNCED FOR EARLY 2015 RELEASE

The newest entry features cooperative multiplayer.


BY MIKE MAHARDY Today Atari announced RollerCoaster Tycoon World, the newest installment in the amusement park simulation series for PC.

Developed by Pipeworks, RollerCoaster Tycoon World once again puts players in charge of a theme park, complete with rides, shops, patrons and, of course, the titular roller coasters. Park maintenance and customer happiness need to be tended to, as well as overall construction and expansion efforts. But in the newest installment, players can also cooperate with up to four players to manage one massive amusement park.

"Many of the new features in RollerCoaster Tycoon World were not possible a few years ago, but we have taken advantage of technological improvements to offer a wildly fun gaming experience that stays true to the storied franchise," Atari CEO Fred Chesnais said in a press release.

Other players' parks can be visited, and coaster blueprints can be shared online as well –– Pipeworks wants to make RollerCoaster Tycoon World the most connected Tycoon title yet.

Atari said RollerCoaster Tycoon World is a full PC experience, and will be "micro-transaction free," so players will have access to all of the content at release.

Stay tuned to IGN for continued coverage of RollerCoaster Tycoon World.

This will be interesting. Nice to see it will be "Micro-Transaction Free".

A trailer is on the link, but couldn't get it to work here.

The multiplayer thing sounds like they took SimCity 5 and put the multiplayer in their game, but instead of unlimited players on the map, only 4 players are allowed.
