The much-anticipated map editor for The Escapists 2 has been released today, opening up a world of potential custom prisons. Today’s update also contains a regular patch, addressing some of the lingering bugs and issues.
As you’d probably imagine, the map editor hooks in to the Steam Workshop, making custom prisons fairly straightforward to share. Like the other maps in The Escapists 2, custom prisons can be played solo or in co-op. Two custom prisons made by developers Mouldy Toof (Slammer Island and Gridline Correctional) are available in the Steam Workshop right now.
To get started with editing and creating your own prison, there’s a helpful guide available. It contains the basic controls and details the functionality of the editor.
Here’s a trailer, followed by the patch notes.
