DENVER, COLORADO (June 23, 2021).
The Colorado-based video game publisher Ziggurat Interactive and Spain-based indie games developer Abylight Studios, today announced with great joy and excitement that their prison-themed simulation/tycoon game “Prison Tycoon: Under New Management” will be available for Windows PC via the Steam Early Access platform on July 1, 2021.

A fresh take on a beloved and long-lived genre, Prison Tycoon: Under New Management builds upon the business simulation features tycoons love with a new art style, more customizable design tools, and granular control over all aspects of their facility and staff.

First released in 2005 and spawning four top-selling sequels, Prison Tycoon: Under New Management reboots the series with a different take on what it means to be a successful warden. In the game, players will need to maintain a balance of services and security as they strive to run and grow their facility! Players will need to secure funding from state agencies, manage the flow of resources and keep staff and prisoners happy while providing proper care for their charges. Whether they are constructing a new cell block or a VR therapy room, players must maximize their investments to grow their prison efficiently.

Features of Prison Tycoon: Under New Management include:

Five Distinct Environments: Select from tropical, tundra, taiga (boreal forest), swamp, or desert biomes, each with its own environmental challenges

Build From Your Own Blueprints: Design every room, path, checkpoint, and cell block

Hire Experts: Evaluate and hire staff to serve 12 different roles in running and maintaining your prison

Secure and Protect: Maintain a secure facility using guards, cameras, watchtowers, and checkpoints

Rehabilitate and Release: Evaluate prisoners, then provide the therapies that they need to be released, from the zero gravity room to VR therapy
