What do you think the Next Chapter is? 💬

I'll get it in ten years after the superedition with 50 DLCs goes into discount.

Without Introversion I don't expect this to be any good. The entire charm of the first game is that it was built by a loving team that cared about the systems they were implementing, learning from them and continuing to make the game better. Paradox and Double Eleven have shown that they don't care about the game at all. They've introduced so many terrible bugs, implemented features that don't make sense or don't incorporate existing systems in any meaningful way. The only good that's come from Paradox buying Prison Architect was the first few updates when they focused on bug fixes and quality of life, then they said screw that and pumped out DLC's without ever caring for fixing bugs they introduced or quality of life anymore. So far it's appeared to be almost completely greed.

Making this game 3D gives me a very flash backs from the transition period for tycoon type games in the early 2000's making everything 3D because they could and then completely dropping the ball on gameplay.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm very skeptical about their ability to execute on Prison Architect 2.

Rest in peace the original PA made by Introversion. Ever since it was bought it's only been milked for DLC money without fixing many many issues. Such a shame

[MasterChaosL]

I'm sorry but the characters look like they're straight out of playmobil.

[wck]

Just imagine how slow and glitchy it will be in 3D once you have 500 to 1000 prisoners. Any chance this will run better than the first game?

[DaLander]

I liked the original Prison Architect very much.
Building the prison with multiple floors and in 3D is very cool.
I don't like the art style of the characters though. They look like a "kids friendly"/casual version and I'm not sure about the "highlighting" of the characters with the black border around the characters.
Hope the core features are not made more casual too.

[caucasianinvasion]

It’s crazy they are revealing this when they’ve left the first game in a buggy broken state.

[chasehale]

The older art style made the game what it was. I definitely need to see more to have an informed opinion tho

[armairoes]

I guess their motive is to reach a younger audience. The new look says it all.. 💀

[OrinRJ]

Remember: They never fixed the first game after Paradox took over. Do not pre-order.

[jackdreznev]

they tried to move from 2D to 3D, while maintaining the unique style of the characters, but it turned out to some kind of Pixar cartoon for kids. Why just not to use a realistic style instead of that shame..

[acegoat]

Hopefully it releases with lots of gameplay and we don’t have to wait 5 years for 26 different DLCs to add all the missing gameplay

[michaelmonstar]

I hate that it basically went the "Now in 3D!"-route like it's the early 2000s or something. This was a mistake for other 2D-games, such as "Worms", as well. - I know that a lot of players of the original wanted to see this happen, for whatever reason, but in my view it just removes the charm of it. I literally was on board with the original because of its simplicity and the stupidest trailer that Introversion made ("Watch these guys eating, sleeping, etc."), not this. - But at least it's not a clone of the original with a "2" attached to it.

I mean, I’m not too sure. The style of prison architect gave it its own unique identity, making, and in this toon aesthetic will just have it blend in with all of the other similar games and it kind of looks like a mobile game. I’ll wait to see more, will probably pick it up regardless so 🤷‍♂️

[FluffyChops]

People don't you all remember what the first game turned out to be like after they sold this IP to paradox.

Just like the first its gonna be a bad mess, for real all they doing is repainting the ip with a new coat but at the end of the day they just wanna milk the IP they bought for all they can. They abounded the first with all these bugs and issues that makes playing the game painful to play making it clear as day they don't care and the DLCs in the first also shown they don't truly understand what the community wants out of the games either like you got to be joking zombies!


No matter what this IP got killed off and even tho your still control of your money i would recommend to just avoid this game.

[GarnachoEmpire]

It sucks when games swap out good 2D graphics for ass 3d graphics

[lukebainbridges]

Definitely need to see more before I even consider pre-ordering despite how much I adore the OG, HOWEVER, 00:49 has me more concerned about this game than I can possibly put into words. Looks almost like it's ready to be ported to mobile straight away...

[fish]

I didn't realize Fisher Price was involved in this.

The wait, comes to an end. A new beginning awaits…
