Atari has announced Rollercoaster Tycoon World, the fourth main entry in the Rollercoaster Tycoon series.

As confirmed to IGN, the game will be developed by Pipeworks Software and, like previous games in the series, will have players take control of a theme park.

Players will be able to build rides, shops and roller coasters, while keeping an eye on things like budget, visitor happiness and technology research.

You will be able to visit other players' parks, and share your rollercoaster blueprints with others so they can build them in their own game.

A new multiplayer mode will also allow four players to manage the same park online.

Crucially, Atari has also confirmed that the game will be a standalone title that features no microtransactions.

The news will be welcome to fans of the series, who were upset that Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 turned out to be a £2.99 mobile game with microtransactions and wait times.

Rollercoaster Tycoon World will be released in early 2015.
