Frontier Developments announces new Disney-licensed video game project
British studio Frontier Developments has confirmed it will develop a new video game based on a Disney property, expanding its existing partnership with the entertainment giant.
Frontier Developments, the British studio behind management and simulation titles, has confirmed plans to develop a new video game built on a Disney intellectual property. The announcement signals a continuation of the studio's working relationship with The Walt Disney Company and points to another major-licensed release from the Cambridge-based developer.
Background of the Partnership
Frontier has collaborated with Disney on several projects in recent years, most notably the Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo franchises, which have been well received by simulation fans. The studio has built a reputation for translating real-world creative themes into detailed, player-driven sandbox experiences.
What the New Project Could Involve
- A continuation of the studio's expertise in theme-park and management simulation gameplay
- Potential tie-ins with existing Disney or Pixar cinematic releases
- Release across PC and major console platforms, in line with Frontier's current distribution model
Industry Context
Licensed games based on family entertainment brands have become an increasingly competitive segment of the global video game market. Disney's catalogue of films, parks and characters offers a wide range of creative material that studios can adapt into interactive experiences. Frontier's track record in simulation design positions it to take on a project that could appeal to both dedicated management-game players and broader Disney audiences. Further details, including the specific franchise, target platforms and release window, have not yet been disclosed.
