The game was due for release in early 2015, although it was revealed that they would not announce an official launch date until closer to the release of the game. The reasoning behind this has not yet been published by Atari, who announced the change along with the relaunch of the RollerCoaster Tycoon website. Part way through development, Area 52 Games took over as the developer of the game from Pipeworks Software. The first screenshots and details of the game were revealed during PAX Prime 2014. The game was officially announced during Gamescom 2014 with a teaser trailer, subtitled World. When Atari announced RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile, they also promised that a title for Windows was also being developed. While terrain and environments are randomly generated in a map, players can still gain access to a terrain editor. User-generated content (including custom scenery) was available from release, as well as Steam Workshop support. As a result, a new 'safety-rating' option and medical staff has been added. Unlike in the previous games, the roller coaster train may fly off the tracks if the roller coaster is built incorrectly. In addition, there are ten roller coasters per type.Ĭoasters can be built freeform or the player can place pre-made designs into their park. Similar to the past installments, there are four different types of coasters available to build: steel, inverted, wooden, and launch-track coasters. The game also introduces an 'Architect mode', allowing players to plan and layout the coaster's model before constructing the coasters. The game contains several scenery and ride themes at launch, with more in development that will be released via free updates and paid expansion packs. A new 'Park Pulse' mechanic was also introduced, allowing players to quickly find out how their park is doing and the customers' thoughts, similar to Zoo Tycoon titles. Players are also allowed to 'ride' the roller coasters they have created, and other rides they have placed in their park in the game, in either a first or third-person view. When building roller coasters, the game makes use of a spline system instead of the old style of laying individual pieces. Similar to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, the game features 3D graphics instead of the 2D isometric style of the first two installments in the series. Unlike RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile, the game does not include any micro-transactions.

Players are able to build rides, shops and roller coasters, while monitoring elements such as budget, visitor happiness and technology research.
