Planet Coaster Release

Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, "Frontier", the Group"), a leading developer of video games, released Planet Coaster, its second major self-published franchise, as planned on November 17.

Planet Coaster builds on Frontier's extensive expertise with coaster park simulation games - one of its previous games in the genre, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, is still selling today over a decade after its release.

Commenting on this David Braben, CEO said
 

"I'm delighted with the reception Planet Coaster has had from our Alpha and Beta players; the enthusiasm they have shown has been fantastic. Planet Coaster released on schedule, and now Frontier is earning revenue from both its self-published franchises marking the end of our transition. We're looking forward to continuing to develop Elite Dangerous and Planet Coaster whilst growing our portfolio with new franchises."
