Team 17 are at GDC right now, showing off their games and one of those games is The Escapists 2, which was just announced as coming to Nintendo Switch, in addition to the already announced PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC releases.



This new trailer showcases the brand new version of a prison which will be very familiar to players of The Escapists and shows off some of the game’s multitude of enhancements, including the brand new graphical style, new combat system, new things to do, new items to craft, more character customisation and the new prison alert system. All while retaining the trademark humour The Escapists players know and love.

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.

The Escapists 2 will be coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in 2017.
