The game’s version for the Switch will also feature 10 unique themed prisons to escape from, an online multiplayer mode, a highly customizable character with over 300 customization options, and a dedicated tutorial for newcomers to the series.

For the first time in the series, players can now work together or against one another and see which convict can make the quickest escape. The Switch version of the game allows players to team up with another inmate via a local two player split screen mode, that will take advantage of the Switch’s Joy-Cons, or Pro Controller. The game also introduced a multiplayer option, a feature that fans of the game requested the most. The Escapist 2 still retains the pixelated sandbox prison-escape game style but has improved graphics and better crafting and combat systems.

The original Escapist was initially launched on Steam back in 2015 and it was received so well that it warranted a sequel that has just arrived for Nintendo’s hybrid system. The smash hit prison-escape game, The Escapist 2, developed by Team17 together with Mouldy Toof Studios, is now available on Nintendo Switch.
