It is a sequel to Prison Architect, and will feature full 3D gameplay. The game is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S on September 3, 2024.
Gameplay
Prison Architect 2 is developed as a full 3D video game. [1] This is an evolution from its predecessor, which was a top-down 2D game with a partial 3D mode. [2] The game will allow players to construct prisons over multiple floors. [3]
Development and release
The game was revealed in January 2024 by Paradox Interactive, who acquired the title from Introversion Software in 2019. [4] The game was developed by Double Eleven, who took over the developing duty of the first installment after the acquisition. [5] Initially slated for release on 26 March 2024, the developers announced a delay to 7 May 2024 in order to "fix more bugs and further optimize the game for all platforms". [6] It was then further delayed to September 3, 2024 as the team encountered "new technical challenges". [7]
A change in development studio was announced by Paradox Interactive on 13 May 2024. [8] Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven were unable to reach a commercial agreement. Kokku, who had been working alongside Double Eleven since mid 2023, were to take over development of the title. [9]
