Two Point Studios has announced Rides & Relics, the latest downloadable content expansion for its museum-management sim Two Point Museum, which launches on 8th October across Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. The £9.99 pack deliberately channels Bullfrog Productions’ seminal 1994 park-building classic Theme Park, introducing funfair-themed exhibits, buildable coasters, and a brand-new museum location called Riquetti Gardens.
The expansion arrives as the newest entry in Two Point Museum’s run of well-received DLC packs, which have previously reshaped the base game by adding zoo animals, art appreciation content, and even a Dungeons & Dragons-style tabletop fantasy mode. This time around, the studio pivots toward theme parks and funfairs, delivering what promises to be one of its most playful additions yet.
A Return to Bullfrog Roots
The connection between Two Point Studios and Bullfrog Productions runs deeper than mere inspiration. The studio’s founders, Mark Webley and Gary Carr, both worked at the now-defunct developer in the 1990s and were directly involved in creating Theme Park back in 1994. This gives the new DLC a notable layer of symmetry: Two Point Studios first gained recognition with Two Point Hospital, its spiritual successor to Bullfrog’s Theme Hospital, and it has now reached even further into its own heritage by paying tribute to that earlier game’s predecessor.
Rides & Relics builds on this legacy through hands-on coaster construction. Players dispatch new Funfair Experts to explore the Gearbox Fairground expedition map, uncovering blueprints and perks along the way. This unlocks more than 17 funfair-themed exhibits, ranging from interactive displays to antique amusements.
The trailer showcases a pirate ship, haunted house, ferris wheel, popcorn stand, candyfloss stall, teacup ride and even a cheese flume, alongside the ability to build your own mini-coasters with adjustable height, tilt and camber across five unique themes.
Beyond the exhibits, the expansion introduces Riquetti Gardens as a fresh museum location, paired with a new five-star campaign mode. Players can also stock their gift shops with additional merchandise and decorate spaces with themed items, including what appear to be theme-park-inspired variants for existing structures such as the helipad, ticket desk, benches, and bins.
Keeping Visitors Entertained
In a move designed to keep museum guests engaged throughout their visit, Rides & Relics also adds ten unlockable mascot outfits. Players can dress up some of their staff in these costumes, adding another layer of customization to the management experience.
The expansion launches on 8th October for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC through Steam and Epic Games Store. A release for the Nintendo Switch 2 is also promised, though no date has been confirmed yet.
Looking Ahead
With Rides & Relics set to arrive later this month, attention now turns toward what Two Point Studios might tackle next. The studio’s willingness to riff on gaming history—moving from Theme Hospital to Theme Park and beyond—suggests its future expansions could continue mining beloved classics for fresh inspiration.
