The Escapists Hits Xbox One next Month
The award-winning sandbox prison escape game The Escapists is busting out and heading to Xbox One next month.
Brought to you by Team17 and Mouldy Toof via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program, The Escapists sees you fill the shoes of a prison inmate, planning and carrying out a daring escape. You’ll have to work around the strict prison schedule and avoid the unwanted attention of guards. Craft weapons and tools found (or stolen) from within the prison and get a job or perform “favours” for your fellow inmates to purchase vital supplies, all while scouting escape routes.
The prison break simulator boats six prisons to escape from and various methods to escape.
Colm played The Escapists back in August, and you can check out his let’s play below. The game hits the Xbox One February 13.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
