Park Beyond, A New Theme Park Builder With An Emphasis On The Impossible, Is Coming In 2022

Park Beyond, a new theme park builder from Bandai Namco, looks to bring some new thrills to the genre, thanks to a focus on what it coins "impossification."

The game's first trailer debuted at Gamescom's Opening Night Live, and shows players updating an aging theme park with new rides and technology as the park's Visioneer. Some of the rides seen in the trailer include a cannon that shoots out a glider filled with passengers, a carousel that continues to expand upwards into the sky, ferris wheels on top of ferris wheels, a giant octopus tossing around riders, and more.

Wild, impossible rides are what the game seems to be all about, as players are tasked with building a park that breaks the "limitations of the ordinary with impossification."

"Our success depends on your creativity, my friend," the trailer's narrator says. More details are scarce, but the game will be coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2022.
