Game Director Rich Newbold and Senior Executive Producer Adam Woods took their places on the sofa as they guided players through a handful of the exciting additions coming to Planet Coaster 2 as part of Update 6. Modular souvenir shops will offer even greater creative depth for ride theming, and for that extra personal touch, on-ride photos offer park visitors a moment to remember!

And that’s not all, as Update 6 will welcome not one, but two returning themes for park builders! The fantastical Fairytale theme and the buccaneering Pirate theme will be available for all players when Update 6 launches in June.

Elite Dangerous

With the free Vanguards update coming soon, Game Designer Curtis Griffiths joined the team on the show to take players through the changes which the update will bring to the Squadrons feature, evolving the way in which Commanders can team up and play together in Elite Dangerous’ bountiful universe.

The Vanguards update will bring even more identity, benefits and control to Squadrons, including customisable logos, Ranks and Perks to make each group more unique. Commanders will be able to collect and distribute Credits using the new Squadron Wallet feature, or even expand their offerings with commodities and even ships, stored via the Squadron Bank in the new Squadron Carrier.
