Hmmm ... because of the similar look and style of both games, we will maybe get some DLC, that we can use in both games. So we could have Ride-DLC's for PlanCo, Animal-DLC's for PlanZo and Scenery, Building Tools, Foliage for both games. Sound like a nice idea.Will we still get Planet Coaster DLC every 3-5 months? Will it continue to grow?....
So what does everyone else think?
Thanks Paul for confirming that Planet Coaster will continue with new content. Planet Coaster is my favorite game.
That's not what Paul said. His post is basically a political statement that neither confirms nor denies that the game is end of life. It just states that they are proud of how the game evolved and that the game is still important to them (read: still making some money and being a great learning experience for future titles).
There was this leaked Frontier roadmap that doesn't bode too well for PlanCo 1. But since we apparently don't talk about that here, I'll just happily play along and pretend it doesn't exist. Although that roadmap did mention some Elite stuff and Planet Zoo that just turned out to be for real, so it probably wasn't so fake after all. But hey, who you gonna call?
The original topics have since been removed from both 4Chan and Reddit, wich can either mean it was too close to the fire or total nonesense. Anyway, plenty of Youtube movies and game media have since reported on it, including our neighbours on the Elite forums. This thread on Frontier's own server is still very active and was not locked or removed:

TLDNR; Planet Coaster is out of active development and will only get milked with a few more low hanging fruit DLC packs, including one about Ghostbusters for some reason. Planet Coaster 2, aka project Einstein is in very early stages and may or may not be a collaboration with Disney. Planet Zoo is a thing now of course, and the newly acquired license that was hyped some time back, seems to be just a sequel to Jurassic World Evolution.
Yes I do hope that Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo will compliment each other at some point. I hope Frontier will keep giving us more content for Planet Coaster. I feel that Planet Coaster still has some room to grown.I have absolutely no problem that Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo are independent of each other. I just hope that they both compliment each other with more content and improvements etc.
What I'm guessing is that Planet Coaster will not receive the RCT3 treatment with waterparks and zoos
