Prison Architect 2 offers advanced simulation systems, enabling players to construct intricate compounds with a high degree of creative freedom in a 3D environment.

From building elaborate structures to managing inmates’ needs while maintaining the facility's financial stability, Prison Architect 2 expands gameplay and creative tools across the board, for an engaging sandbox experience. The game also introduces a connection  system between the prisoners, who will make friends or enemies with each other, impacting who they will hang out, partner or fight with. 

Prison Architect 2 brings prison construction and management gameplay to a new level by entering the third dimension and bringing deeper simulation than ever before.

Hello Architects,

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to delay the release of Prison Architect 2 from March 26nd to May 7, 2024. While we are already confident in the game, this extra time will enable us to fix more bugs and further optimize the game for all platforms. Although sticking to the original launch date was an option, we feel that taking this additional time is necessary to ensure that we offer you a smoother experience from day one.

We also want to show you how the development of the game is going in these final stages, which is why we'll be starting streams up in March to go alongside our Prison Architect Academy series. Stay tuned to find out the dates and times for these.

We would love to build the future of Prison Architect 2 and its community together with you. Please keep giving us suggestions and feedback, let’s go on this journey together!

You can send us your suggestions and vote for things already suggested on our forum.

Watch as they interact and attempt to navigate the daily trials of your prison. Remember that every choice you make might either help or hinder your inmates' correctional journey. What type of relationships will your inmates have with your prison?
