I'm thrilled to be working with my friends at Team17 again to bring this new chapter of The Escapists to life. The Escapists ii takes everything the fans loved from the get-go game and adds in then many new additions and features on tiptop. I can't wait to see what the fans retrieve.

Debbie Bestwick MBE, CEO of Team17, added:

One of my virtually anticipated features in The Escapists 2 is co-op for up to four players. Multiplayer was something we saw our incredible The Escapists community weep out for in the original game and something I'k so excited to see fully realised in the sequel, both local and online. Equally a histrion with quite a few prison escapes under my own belt I can't wait to work together with my friends on escapes.
