The Escapists 2 Release Date
UK – July 11th, in the year of our Lord 2017
– Award-winning international games label Team17 and developer
Mouldy Toof Studios are excited to announce the launch date for
The Escapists 2, the follow up to their award-winning
prison-escape game.
Launching on the 22nd August for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC,
The Escapists 2 is available to pre-order now from
$19.99/21.99CAD from Steam and $19.99/19.99CAD for PlayStation 4
and $19.99/19.99CAD for Xbox One from select retailers, with
digital pre-orders available soon. Those who pre-order will get
access to an additional prison, The Glorious Regime!
In this pulse-pounding penitentiary, players will experience the
thrill of escaping a hidden compound deep in the jungle. You’ll
need determination and drive to avoid the unquestioningly
devoted guards, constant surveillance, and the Illustrious
Leader himself, in your bid for freedom.
The Escapists 2 is the forthcoming sequel to the multi-million
selling, award-winning sandbox prison-escape game which will
include, in a first for the series, drop in/drop out play for up
to four players in both local and online play.
Escaping won't be easy though. You'll have to work around the
strict prison schedule and avoid the unwanted attention of
guards. Craft weapons and tools found (or stolen) from within
the prison, but beware of cell shakedowns. Get a job or perform
“favours" for your fellow inmates to purchase vital supplies,
all while scouting escape routes.
The Escapists 2 features:
• A dedicated tutorial for new players to learn the basics of
prison life
• 10 unique themed prisons to escape from including the frosty
Fort Tundra, a train hurtling through the desert, and even a
trip to the final frontier!
• Play each prison solo or multiplayer with both local and
online co-op and versus modes for up to four players**
• Drop-in, drop-out online multiplayer experience. Carefully
plan and execute an intricate escape from your initial
incarceration with your fellow inmates either online or locally,
or simply hop into an existing game already in progress to help
pull off the final touches of the escape!
• A brand new combat system to make every prison brawl even more
bruising
• Create your con with over 300 customisations to create your
perfect prisoner
• New ways to escape
• New items to craft - Build yourself a home-made Taser to knock
out guards plus many more!
The Escapists 2 will launch on the 22nd August for Xbox One,
PlayStation 4 and PC with a Nintendo Switch™ version to follow.
Players can pre-order the game now via Steam and for PlayStation
4 and Xbox One from select retailers, with digital pre-orders
