A lot of players have been asking for The Escapists 2 on mobile devices and today we’re super excited to confirm that it is indeed coming. It’s called The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout and will be available on iOS, Android and Amazon phones and tablets. You won’t even have to wait long, as it is launching in just two weeks on January 31st!

So what’s The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout?

At its core, it’s The Escapists 2 you know and love. We will, however, be rolling it out slightly differently, with additional content being added over time.

At launch, you’ll get 5 prisons to escape from:
Precinct 17 (the tutorial)
Center Perks 2.0
Rattlesnake Springs
K.A.P.O.W Camp
Area 17

The five remaining base game prisons will all be added over time completely free of charge, giving you a continuous reason to dive back in. We’ll have more details about additional content roll-out in the weeks and months to come.

The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout launches with drop-in/drop-out local multiplayer allowing you to play with fellow escapists each on their own mobile or tablet device. This allows you to very easily jump between solo-play and co-op any time you want.
