Team17 has announced that the original Escapists is coming to the Nintendo Switch “later this year”. This version is called “The Escapists: Complete Edition”.
All of the DLC that was released on the PC version will be included, as well as 9 bonus maps. One of the bonus maps has never been seen before on consoles.
Escaping won’t be easy. You’ll have to work around the strict prison schedule and avoid the unwanted attention of guards!
You’ll need some cash to put your plan into action, so be prepared to get a prison job or perform favour requests for fellow inmates to earn those vital funds. Use your hard-earned cash to barter with traders for tools and crafting supplies, and make sure you find a good hiding place for your stash. And don’t forget to pay attention during roll call to avoid a cell shakedown – you wouldn’t want to lose that coveted shovel you’ve worked so hard to craft!
