Pre-purchase Prison Architect 2 on Steam

Welcome Architects! Design and develop your own personalized penitentiary in Prison Architect 2. The classic prison-builder has broken out into 3D, and it’s up to you to contain it!

I was bored and thinking of what to play the other day, so booted up Prison Architect and started on a new prison!

Was googling to remind me of how some of the systems work and came across the announcement for Prison Architect 2!

Really loved the first one, have several hundred hours on it and always wondered how the game would transfer to a 3D version, here's hoping it's not the usual Paradox Interactive games that's launched with no content and loads of bugs and then DLC'd the hell out of

Likewise. Could be good, could be ****. Hope for the former but in no rush to find out. It'll be another one that I keep an eye on and maybe pick up a year or two down the line if it takes my fancy.

I'm sure they originally announced for a March release. Damn! Oh well, I'll still be jumping on it as I loved the first one.

I'm not a fan of the style, I liked the flat look of the original TBH.

I wouldnt say im not a fan of the style, but i must say i think i prefer the originals style over this, but i am willing to give this a go

Liking the look of this ready and waiting on my wishlist

Saw this mentioned in the RimWorld thread, checked the release date, now 3rd September

Eek. This doesn't bode well...

Prison Architect 2 developer Double Eleven has been replaced by publisher Paradox Interactive after working on the series for nearly a decade

Out with the old and in with the new.

"could not find a commercial agreement" suggests that Double Eleven wanted more dosh and Paradox didnt want to pay more dosh, to me at least.

probably be utter drivel like Kerbal 2 and a lot of other big "indie" type sequels

Sounds like Paradox wanted them to split the game into 100 dlc to be released over the next decade, maybe the developers didn't want to


Look at the sims 4 it has £1000 worth of content and the are still making more....
but it isn't a game worth anywhere near £1000.


Paradox were probably comparing the 2 games and realising how much milking they can do.

lets face Prison architect is basically a prison version of the sims

Its certainly not worth £1000 to me but probably is to the right person, thats just the nature of value, one mans old holey shoe is another mans wonderboot after all

I think it's more "this game is worth up to £200 for one person, and £200 spent in different stuff to someone else" surely? When a game has that much content, you're not expecting every player to purchase it all.

Dead by daylight has loads of dlc now, and loads of skins. I don't know any player that isn't a streamer who has bought even half the content.

I've bought every dlc for Total Warhammer 3, no idea how much that tallies up to, but I have them all. I also have every dlc for Civilization 6.

Fair. I guess it's skins that are more designed to be for a select few, so they have many many skins to give everyone something they might like.
