Frontier Developments Announces New Partnership with Disney for Upcoming Simulation Title

Frontier Developments, the studio renowned for its mastery of the creative management simulation (CMS) genre, has officially entered into a licensing agreement with Disney. The collaboration will see the British developer create and publish a brand-new title leveraging Disney’s vast library of intellectual property.

The upcoming project is set to be fully funded by Frontier Developments. The studio intends to lean heavily on the technical and creative expertise it has honed through its highly successful portfolio, which includes industry-standard titles such as Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, and the Jurassic World Evolution series.

In a press release regarding the announcement, Frontier Developments CEO Jo Cooke expressed enthusiasm for the new venture, emphasizing that the partnership aligns with the company’s long-term corporate strategy.

“We are delighted to announce this collaboration with Disney, which further reinforces our clearly defined strategy of developing and nurturing world-class creative management simulation game franchises,” Cooke stated. “Our mission with this game is to connect a passionate creative community of players with one of the world’s most iconic and beloved brands, and I can’t wait to see what our talented teams will create with this amazing opportunity.”

While specific details regarding the game’s theme, gameplay mechanics, or release window remain under wraps, the industry is already speculating on how Disney’s diverse roster of properties might translate into the simulation genre. The project arrives alongside news that Frontier is already deep in development on an unannounced entry in the Planet series, further cementing their commitment to the genre.

For those tracking the latest updates on this collaboration, further announcements are expected as the project progresses through its development cycle.
