ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!
To celebrate the launch, we will be livestreaming brand new prisons on the Team17 Facebook page as soon as the Steam version becomes available. Stay tuned to the Facebook page for more details!
With the launch moved up, you now have even less time to get your pre-orders in if you want your hands on the bonus prison, The Glorious Regime, at no additional cost! http://store.steampowered.com/app/641990/The_Escapists_2/
Introducing Transport Prisons!
Inmates,
we have a mission for you, should you choose to accept it. Three of the ten prisons included in The Escapists 2 are brand new Transport Prisons, that have you fighting against the clock to escape moving prisons on land, sea and air! Every area is off-limits, and the guards really, REALLY don't like you roaming around - and certainly not if you plan to escape!
What say you, do you accept the challenge?

The Escapists 2 launches on 22nd August, and pre-ordering gives you access to The Glorious Regime DLC prison at no additional charge.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to escape from prison... in space? In Escapists 2 you won't have to keep wondering, as you explore the new home for interstellar inmates - alone or with up to three friends - and hope that in space nobody can hear you escape!

The U.S.S Anomaly is one of ten prisons included in the game at launch. You can even get your hands on a 11th prison, The Glorious Regime, by pre-ordering the game prior to its release on 22nd August!
