The Escapists 2 is getting a mobile makeover for iOS and Android later this month, Team17 and Mouldy Toof have announced. 

Known as The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout, the game will launch on January 31 and offers up five handpicked sandbox stages to test your might against, as well as local multiplayer for up to four players. Escaping won't be easy though, as you'll have to formulate a plan while attending roll call and taking part in prison jobs among other things.

Players will have access to heaps of customisation options too, while crafting is also a necessity as you buy your way to getting your hands on key items — or simply beat the crap out of anyone in your way to get them. 

Being a crafty sod will get you far too, as you'll have to sneak past guards and blend in to keep your plans under wraps until you put things into action.

The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout will set you back £6.99 on Android and iOS. The game was originally released on PlayStation 4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
