The Escapists 2 Transit Prisons
UK – August 15th, in the year of our Lord 2017
– Award-winning international games label Team17 and developer
Mouldy Toof have today released new data for The Escapists 2,
the follow up to their award-winning prison-escape game The
Escapists.
The new data showcases 3 of the 10 prisons within the game,
which share a unique twist, all 3 are different types of
prisoner transport vehicles! Inmates will need to act quick and
employ their stealth skills if they’re to escape the new timed
prisons, which feature a variety of transit methods for the
pixelated prisoners including:
Cougar Creek Railroad
Locked up on a hurling train chugging across the Cougar Creek
Railroad, you and the vultures overhead know what fate awaits
once this train reaches the end of the line. If you plan to see
another sunrise you’d better disembark by whatever means
necessary.
H.M.S Orca
Onboard the H.M.S Orca you’ll find a pity of prisoners who are
being shipped off in droves to a remote island far, far away
from civilization. Not keen on being marooned, you’d much prefer
to find a way off the boat before you stand about as much chance
as a fish out of water.
Air Force Con
Meanwhile in Air Force Con, you better fasten your seatbelt!
Only the most hardened of criminals get an entire plane during
the escort phase. One thing’s for sure though - it’s a
one-way-ticket, so you’d better act fast before landing.
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 3 transit
prisons
• 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 homemade Taser to knock
out guards plus many more!
