Prison Architect 2 Announced Alongside Release Date
Prison Architect 2 launches on March 26, 2024 on PC via Steam, Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5 priced $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99, publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Double Eleven have announced.
The sequel to the hit prison management simulator brings 3D graphics to the table, alongside multiple floors, sandbox construction, Career mode and inmate connections.
“The game offers deeper simulation, greater player control, an inhabitant behaviour system and creative options to define the next generation of management gameplay,” Paradox said.
And here’s the official blurb:
Introversion sold the Prison Architect intellectual property to Paradox in 2019, with Double Eleven taking over development duties. Introversion went on to release the well-received spaceship construction game, The Last Starship, which is currently in Early Access on Steam.
It will be interesting to see how Prison Architect manages the transition from 2D to 3D, given its 2D art style was a key part of the original game’s appeal.
