Hey prisoners

We have just updated The Escapists 2 to version 1.1.1. This includes various fixes to specific jobs and Wicked Ward content, and a new server region; Asia-2. Please find the full patch notes below:

- Added an additional server region option in Settings for Chinese players: Asia-2
- Fixed an issue whereby the Wicked Ward filter wasn’t available in the browsing menu
- Fixed an issue whereby debug text would show on Controller Disconnected prompt
- Fixed an issue whereby some of the graffiti tags in Rattlesnake Springs were missing
- Fixed an issue whereby the UI didn’t appear during Pumpkin Carving job on Wicked Ward.

We hope you're enjoying your time with The Escapists 2, and that you're looking forward to more content - and yes, the prison editor is still being worked on, and we're hoping to have it with you soon, allowing you to add all the extra - and free - content you could ever want!

Thanks for your patience and continued support!

Spooky greetings, prisoners!

The Escapists 2 is preparing for Halloween with our suitably themed DLC, Wicked Ward. Things have taken an odd turn in the locked off wings of an abandoned hospital. A mad scientist and his hoard of undead guard their terror-tory within the gothic halls. Outside an ominous sky of thunder, rain and lightning blankets the surrounding woods. Once again, you’ll have to craft, fight and scheme your way to freedom from this spooky supernatural slammer. Your ghoul is to escape at all costs!

The Wicked Ward DLC features:
• A brand-new horror themed map to escape
• New Halloween themed customisations
• New items and craftable recipes
