Frontier Developments to Build Disney‑Branded Creative Management Game

Frontier will self-fund and publish the title to expand its creative management‑simulation strategy after strong FY26 financial results.

Overview

  • Frontier announced on Thursday, September 3, 2026, that it has entered an agreement with Disney to develop a new game that will draw on Disney intellectual property and that Frontier will fund, develop and publish the project.
  • The studio framed the project as part of its Creative Management Simulation (CMS) focus, linking the move to recent financial strength that saw FY26 revenue rise by 16% to £104.8 million.
  • Frontier and Disney have not disclosed which Disney franchise will be used, what the gameplay will look like, which platforms it will appear on or when it will be released, and outlets and fans are publicly speculating about a parks or theme‑park style sim.
  • Frontier said the Disney title is distinct from a separate, unannounced 'Planet' game the company is also developing, which the studio expects to release on its own timetable.
  • If the collaboration follows Frontier’s past CMS work such as Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, the deal could give players licensed tools and assets to design and manage attractions, and it signals continued interest from major media companies in licensed, evergreen game franchises.
