Description from IGDB IGDB

The Escapists 2 is the forthcoming sequel to the 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.

Storyline IGDB

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.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

In the game, players assume control of an inmate from a top-down perspective. The inmate must follow daily routines in the prison while completing quests for fellow inmates and seeking out opportunities to escape. Missing routines results in the prison's security level increasing; at higher security levels, more guards patrol the prison, dogs sniff out contraband items stored by inmates, and, at the highest security level, a total lockdown occurs in which all inmates must return to their cells. A lockdown can also be caused by damaging the prison or misplacing guards' keys. The Escapists 2 features a crafting system which allows players to craft items like shovels, stun guns, and dummies to confuse guards. Once the player character is caught, all contraband items in the inventory are lost and the inmate is put into solitary confinement. Comparing to its predecessors, the game has a larger variety of prisons, including prisoner transport vehicles and incarceration facilities set in space. There are also more customization options for the player character. The game features an expanded combat system which allows players to lock onto targets, block and perform light and heavy attacks. The game features both local and online cooperative multiplayer. There are some unique escapes that require multiplayer to unlock where up to four players can assist each other when escaping prison. The competitive multiplayer pits between two and four players against each other and the player who breaks out from the confinement facility fastest wins the game.
