Team 17 and Mouldy Toof have released a brand new multiplayer trailer for The Escapists 2, showing the U.S.S Anomaly, the new home for interstellar inmates. Designed as a solution to overcrowding of prisons on Earth, the U.S.S Anomaly is the ultimate test of escaping prowess. The floating prison comes complete with robotic guards (and dogs!), jet packs and an A.I. Warden. 

The Escapists 2 is the upcoming sequel to the multi-million selling, award-winning 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. The addition of multiplayer is great news because we all need a mate for a prison escape, even better with a stolen shuttle back to Earth’s stratosphere. 

Those who pre-order The Escapists 2 from select stores will get access to an additional prison, The Glorious Regime, a jungle compound with unquestioningly loyal guards.

The Escapists 2 will launch on August 22 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The Nintendo Switch version will follow, with more details to come.
