Planet Coaster 2 shows off water parks and more in 15 minutes of gameplay

With Planet Coaster 2's big reveal out the way, Frontier Developments is ready to start talking specifics - and it's no…

Frontier's deep dive offered a quick walk through the basics here, noting its sparkly new pools can be carved into the earth using geometric or custom shapes, while body flumes - just like rollercoasters - can be constructed piece-by-piece. Other nuggets of information shared in Frontier's Planet Coaster 2 deep dive (and subsequent Q&A) included confirmation that hotels will be absent from the sequel, despite the introduction of a new Resort scenery theme, and that the complexity meter will return for console players, limiting the amount of items they can put in their parks. As a suite of creative tools, Planet Coaster 2 looks extremely impressive - even if this first proper gameplay breakdown does suggest the original game's underwhelming management side will be notably more robust.
