## [](#about-the-escapists-2)About The Escapists 2

In The Escapists 2 it is your job to escape from prison. You can do this alone or together with a friend through the local co-op stand in the game. That idea also formed the basis for the original game and part two elaborates on this.

After a successful launch of The Escapists in 2015, the series has now been downloaded more than 4 million times. Now the sandbox-pinned prison escape game is back and better than ever with improved graphics, crafting and combat and the addition of multiplayer, the most fan-requested feature to date.

So wear your orange overall and start planning your escape route, because it’s time to return to prison!

The Escapists 2 was therefore well received by the general public.

The physical release of The Escapists 2 will come out on October 30, still about two months. If you are already waiting from January, those last two months may well be there.
