Prison Architect 2 is an upcoming private prison construction and management simulation video game developed by Double Eleven and Kokku, and published by Paradox Interactive. It is a sequel to Prison Architect, featuring full 3D gameplay. The game has been delayed indefinitely for performance and content improvements.
Gameplay
Prison Architect 2 is developed as a full 3D video game.[1] This is an evolution from its predecessor, which was a top-down 2D game with a partial 3D mode.[2] The game will allow players to construct prisons over multiple floors.[3]
Development and release
The game was revealed in January 2024 by Paradox Interactive, who acquired the title from Introversion Software in 2019.[4] The game was initially developed by Double Eleven, who took over the developing duty of the first installment after the acquisition.[5] However, a change in development studio was announced by Paradox Interactive on 13 May 2024, as Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven were unable to reach a commercial agreement.[6] Kokku, who had been working alongside Double Eleven since mid 2023, were to take over development of the title.[7]
Initially slated for release on 26 March 2024, the game was announced with a delay to 7 May 2024 in order to "fix more bugs and further optimize the game for all platforms".[8] It was then further delayed to 3 September 2024 as the team encountered "new technical challenges".[9] On 2 August 2024, the game was delayed indefinitely in the aim to improve the game's performance and quality.[10]
