Cambridge-based video game studio Frontier Developments has announced a new partnership with Disney to develop a new title based on the entertainment giant's intellectual property.

Frontier CEO Jo Cooke expressed delight at the collaboration, stating that the mission is to connect a passionate community of players with one of the world's most beloved brands. The new game will further reinforce Frontier's strategy of developing and nurturing world-class CMS franchises. Frontier recently reported its second-highest annual revenue, growing 16% to £104.8 million.
Operating profit rose 44% to £19 million, surpassing the previous record of £15.9 million in FY29. The company credits its strategic focus on CMS games for this growth, with the genre accounting for 90% of FY26 revenue. Frontier announced its shift to CMS games in 2023, as the genre delivers stronger and more predictable returns.
