Free "Snow Way Out" Update Available Now!

[DKShadow_Team17]

Hi everyone

Today we're excited to announce the brand new - and completely FREE - content update for The Escapists 2 called Snow Way Out. Just update your game and you can play it right away!

Snow Way Out

Continuing the story from last year's free Santa's Shakedown update, Snow Way Out sees Santa trading his yearly gift-giving for a 24/7 year-round online retailer to maximize profits. Naughty or nice? No matter, anyone's free to buy from Billionaire Santa!

Take on the role as one of Santa's hardworking elves in the factory and warehouse in the North Pole. Outsmart and escape Santa's elf guards and robot workers and make your way to freedom either alone or with friends. Will you be able to make your escape?

We hope you enjoy Snow Way Out through the holidays and beyond!

See you on the inside!

We're not currently working on any editor updates, at least. That doesn't necessarily mean no editor updates in the future, however.

We're always keeping an eye on the community and considering ways we can keep improving our games. That being said, we don't have anything further to announce for The Escapists 2 at this time :)

Very cool update!
I used to play this game a lot but I just got a bit tired from it. I'm really happy to come back to this game because of a free map update especially a christmas one! Sounds really cool.

Just wondering, is there an escapists 2 discord or something so I can meet up with people to play with easier?

Also is there any tips or anything to get a themed escape in the new map? I don't want to look up a tutorial or something.

Also I found a glitch, if you sleep before the final roll call ends and you've already attended it then when it does finish you will instead wake up at 2:00am instead of your normal time.

Look out for the quests Unionised and Ghost of Christmas Past :)

The day does actually start at 2:00 in this prison. You got to be ready to send out orders bright and early!

There are indeed no new achievements for this one. We've only been adding achievements to our paid DLC.

Have you reported this issue on the Report A Problem forum? Then we can look into it.

Very nice prison! I have a idea for your next DLC prison, i was kind of thinking of the Border Zoo
ape prison from War of the Planet of the Ape's, with things like, underground sewer system, all
prisoners (Apes or prisoner skin of a ape) have the same job (making the wood border), all escapes have all apes escaping with the player, and most of the prison being outside. If you could make that as a DLC prison (or free update prison) than that would be awsome!

I particularly like the idea of orchestrating a full on prison break with every prisoner escaping alongside you. I'll be sure to forward it to the team for any potential updates in the future :)
