Frontier Developments to Make Game Using Disney IP

The studio says it will fund, develop, publish the title as part of a push to expand its creative management simulation franchises into Disney properties.

Overview

  • Frontier announced an agreement with The Walt Disney Company on Thursday, September 3, 2026, saying the new game will draw on Disney’s “iconic portfolio of IP.”
  • The company confirmed it will fully fund, develop and publish the project itself and framed the collaboration as fitting its Creative Management Simulation, or CMS, strategy.
  • Frontier and Disney gave no public details about the game’s title, which Disney franchise(s) will be used, target platforms or a release window, leaving gameplay and scope unconfirmed.
  • Reporters and fans have widely speculated the project could be a Disney parks–style theme-park management sim because Frontier’s track record includes Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo and Jurassic World Evolution.
  • The deal follows Frontier’s strong FY26 results, which the studio said were driven by CMS titles that made about 90% of revenue, and the company also separately continues work on an unannounced Planet game.
