Hey everyone
You’ve been asking for it, and we’ve of course been working on it. Being able to make your very own rooms in The Escapists 2 is important to the creative process, and we’re very, very excited to be able to confirm that it’s coming. Oh, what’s that? Right, it’s actually AVAILABLE TODAY!!!
Just update your game at 5 PM BST today and jump into the updated editor. Those familiar with the Prison Editor from The Escapists will feel right at home here, as the updated editor for The Escapists 2 works much in the same way. You can still place pre-set rooms like before, but now you’re able to change absolutely everything about these rooms including walls, floors, objects, everything. You can also create rooms from scratch using the Zone Tool, allowing you to create any type of room any way you want. This includes the ability to now freely place a ton of new objects – like desks – anywhere you please! The editor will now also display potential issues with your prison, like being unable to get to your desk, make your way to roll call, or if a door has been blocked somewhere unintentionally.
Dungeons and Duct Tape
If you prefer prisons handcrafted by the team here at Team17, we’re also excited to announce our latest DLC prison – and the final prison included in the Season Pass – called “Dungeons & Duct Tape”! It’s a medieval prison set in Locke Castle, which has you utilising the Grappling Hook a lot more to get around the prison, as it’s a lot more vertical than our usual slammers.
Check out the launch trailer below:

Launch Livestream
To celebrate the launch of Dungeons & Duct Tape, we’ll be livestreaming at 4 PM BST over on YouTube – come join us!
Do let us know what you think of today’s updates, and if you have any questions about custom rooms, or Dungeons & Duct Tape, sound off below or over on the Community Hub. We’d also love to see your prisons – with custom rooms, woohoo – over on our Discord server, where we’ve got a channel dedicated to it. We can’t wait to see what you all create!
