Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Double Eleven have announced the delay of the prison management simulator Prison Architect 2, which was previously planned for March 26, until May 7. The game will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam for $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99.
The development team has issued the following message regarding the delay:
“Hello architects!
After careful consideration, we have made the decision to delay the release of Prison Architect 2 to May 7, 2024. While we are already confident in the game, this additional time will allow us to fix more bugs and further optimize the game for all platforms. While keeping the original release date was an option, we feel that taking this additional time is necessary to ensure we give you a smoother experience from day one.
We also want to show you how the game’s development is going in these final stages, which is why we will begin broadcasts in March to accompany our Prison Architect Academy series. Stay tuned for their dates and times. We would love to build the future of Prison Architect 2 and its community together with you. Please continue to give us suggestions and feedback, let’s take this journey together! You can send us your suggestions and vote for things that have already been suggested in our forum.
