Park Beyond is Bandai Namco’s trip into theme park sims

Someone at Bandai Namco must have missed going to theme parks during the pandemic. That’s my theory about Park Beyond, the publisher’s first amusement park management sim. It’s from Limbic Entertainment, and it’s coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2022. Bandai Namco made the announcement today during Gamescom’s Opening Night.

Park Beyond promises to tinker with traditional management mechanics. As the trailer shows, gravity is just a suggestion, not a rule. It’ll compete with the likes of Planet Coaster, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Jurassic Park: Evolution (it’s a park sim for dinosaur attractions).
