RollerCoaster Tycoon World has switched developer for a second time, Atari has revealed, with Montreal-based studio Nvizzio Creations now heading up development.

The news was confirmed on the game’s website earlier this month.

The management sim was previously being developed by Area 52 Games, which took over from original developer Pipeworks Software back in December. It isn’t clear why Area 52 is no longer working on the game.

Judging by an earlier blog post, however, Nvizzio has actually been involved since at least May, although the studio’s name was only publicly revealed a few weeks ago.

“[Nvizzio] have brought fresh new ideas and expanded on the essentials all while embracing the challenge of making such a historic and giant game as RollerCoaster Tycoon World,” said executive producer ‘Mattlab’ in a blog post earlier this month. “Everything we have shown you recently has been the work of this incredibly hard-working and talented team. Nvizzio loves this franchise as much as we all do and wants to make a game they too can enjoy for decades to come.”

RollerCoaster Tycoon World is due to launch on PC later this year, with more details set to be revealed at next week’s Gamescom.
