Atari®, one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers, today announced the release of RollerCoaster Tycoon® Adventures for Windows PC, available exclusively through the Epic Games store. Originally released for the Nintendo Switch™ in late 2018, RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures brings the legendary RollerCoaster Tycoon® series into the next generation — for an accessible to all ages entry combining classic RollerCoaster Tycoon gameplay with brand-new challenges that make every park its own adventure!

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with the Epic Games store to bring this new casual entry in Chris Sawyer’s beloved RollerCoaster Tycoon series to its birthplace on Windows PC,” said Jean-Marcel Nicolai, Chief Operating Officer, Atari. “RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures is a fantastic entry point in the series for players of all ages and skill levels, and it’s now further accessible to fans on Windows PC. The Epic Games store is a fantastic new platform for creators and players alike, and we’re honored to begin our support of it with RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures.”

RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures is the latest entry in one of the best-selling and most cherished franchises in PC gaming history. RollerCoaster Tycoon was created by legendary game developer Chris Sawyer and first released on Windows PC in 1999. The series quickly became a favorite of gamers. Nvizzio Creations, developer of the critically acclaimed mobile title RollerCoaster Tycoon® Touch™, returns as the developer of RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures, bringing an exciting and accessible new twist to the world of RollerCoaster Tycoon. The PC version, which is directly ported from Nintendo Switch features support for mouse and keyboard controls. 

In RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures, players have three distinct game modes to build their entertainment empire — Adventure Mode (a spin on the classic Campaign mode), tricky Scenarios, and the open Sandbox. Over 120 wonderfully wacky rides, restaurants, and shops ensure parks burst with eye-catching action, and the intuitive coaster builder lets players create wild, death-defying coasters with ease. Four unique themed environments, along with water and terraforming options, ensure every park is distinct and exciting. A streamlined simulation and game economy allow players of all ages and skill levels to build the park of their dreams.
