Atari Announces ‘RollerCoaster Tycoon World’ For 2015

Briefly: I didn’t expect this to come out of Gamescom today, but I’m very happy that it did.

Atari has announced a new PC version of RollerCoaster Tycoon entitled RollerCoaster Tycoon World. The game will launch on PC in early 2015, and will also be the series first entry to include cooperative multiplayer.

Details on the game are slim at this time, but Atari CEO Fred Chesnais certainly sounds excited for the project, stating that “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.” The game is also micro-transaction free (thankfully), and is said to be a full PC experience.

I lost weeks and weeks of my childhood to RollerCoaster Tycoon, and I sure hope that this game is great so I can do it all over again as an adult. Take a look at the reveal trailer for the game below, and let us know if you’ll be giving this one a shot.
