Gameplay edit
Prison Architect 2 is developed as a full 3D video game.[1] This is an evolution from its predecessor, which was a top-down 2D game with a partial 3D mode.[2] The game will allow players to construct prisons over multiple floors.[3]
Development and release edit
The game was revealed in January 2024 by Paradox Interactive, who acquired the title from Introversion Software in 2019.[4] The game is developed by Double Eleven, who took over the developing duty of the first installment after the acquisition.[5] Initially slated for release on 26 March 2024, the developers announced a delay to 7 May 2024 in order to "fix more bugs and further optimize the game for all platforms".[6] It was then further delayed to September 3, 2024 as the team encountered "new technical challenges".[7]
