Prison Architect 2 goes 3D with release in March
Prison Architect 2 has been announced, a full 3D sequel to the hit prison management simulator coming from Double Eleven and publisher Paradox Interactive. Promising deeper simulation, more player control and more creative options, Prison Architect 2 will launch on 26th March 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Prison Architect 2 will step into the third dimension with everything that this entails. You can now build a prison across multiple floors with more elaborate structures, and with building tools designed to accommodate this feat. Within that space, you’ve then got myriad management tools to define daily schedules for inmates, policies for how to handle them, and more.
Prisoners now have more smarts, with the ability to form actual relationships with other people, and make decisions based on their wants and needs. This can lead to escape attempts, gang wars and more. You’ll have to try and accommodate this to ensure the smooth running of your penitentiary, whether that’s strict rules or a more lenient approach that puts inmate rehabilitation first.
All of this will be brought together in an upgraded career mode that spans a new world map.
“In Prison Architect 2, our team set out to create the next level in management gameplay,” said Gareth Wright, Game Director at Double Eleven. “A greater degree of player freedom, impactful choices, and inmate simulation come together to provide an enhanced presentation of prison management, in a 3D world. Staple and much-loved features return to manage your inmates, quell riots, prevent escapes, and share your prisons, but now cross-platform! In addition to a new upgrade system, a new Career Mode, and more. We look forward to seeing how players get creative with multiple floors and catwalks to finally construct and expand in 3D. And then optimize and balance their prison’s safety, security, and self-betterment.”
Prison Architect 2 will be priced at $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 with the PC version available to pre-order
