RollerCoaster Tycoon Wonderworks Returns With Early Access and Chaotic Physics

Early Access will let players test the game's chaotic physics to shape the later full PC, console launch.

Overview

  • Atari and developer Springloaded announced RollerCoaster Tycoon Wonderworks on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, as a new mainline entry in the franchise.
  • The game will enter PC Early Access on Steam this winter at $24.99, with a full release for PC and consoles planned after the Early Access period.
  • Early Access will ship two launch parks, Hollow Creek and Forest Frontiers, more than 60 rides, and over 150 decorative pieces for players to build and expand.
  • Springloaded says the game uses an isometric view, a toylike art style, an overhauled coaster builder, expanded customization and streamlined management tools.
  • A new chaotic physics engine can cause rides to break apart, send guests flying and produce injuries, and Atari plans to use player feedback during Early Access to refine tone and balance before the final release.
