　　I’m thrilled to be working with my friends at Team17 again to bring this new chapter of The Escapists to life. The Escapists 2 takes everything the fans loved from the first game and adds in so many new additions and features on top. I can’t wait to see what the fans think.

　　Debbie Bestwick MBE, CEO of Team17, added:

　　One of my most anticipated features in The Escapists 2 is co-op for up to four players. Multiplayer was something we saw our incredible The Escapists community cry out for in the original game and something I'm so excited to see fully realised in the sequel, both local and online. As a player with quite a few prison escapes under my own belt I can't wait to work together with my friends on escapes.

　　The Escapists 2 will be available in 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
