Press release:
13th December 2017, UK – Award-winning international games label Team17 has today launched a free content update for its sandbox prison-escape game The Escapists 2 with the arrival of the Santa’s Shakedown prison on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Celebrate the festive season with this snowy free new prison that has it all: state of the art equipment, high tech security measures … and an overtly theatrical warden who has repurposed the sports hall as a theatre and is more concerned with putting on an extravagant pantomime than the wellbeing of his inmates. Look past the tacky decorations and an opportunity to escape may just present itself!
Santa’s Shakedown is now available as a free The Escapists 2 game update for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Please note: Santa’s Shakedown requires The Escapists 2 to play, which is available to purchase for Xbox One via the Xbox Games Store, PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store and for PC, Mac and Linux via Steam.
