Pine Studio announced Escape Simulator 2, the sequel to the popular first-person escape room game.
If you’re familiar with the original game, the new trailer for Escape Simulator 2 can be quite the shocker. It’s moody, darker and looking more detailed the the original’s more whimsy artstyle.
Escape Simulator 2 will see 1-8 players find clues and solve puzzles in lavishly detailed rooms. So far three themes are revealed: a gothic castle home to Count Dracula, a sci-fi theme on a stranded spaceship, and on board a pirate ship.
“For Escape Simulator 2, we were inspired to explore darker themes and experiment with new gameplay and puzzle mechanics,” said Boris Barbir, Co-Founder at Pine Studio. “While Escape Simulator 2 adopts a darker, more mysterious tone compared to the original, it’s not a horror game—there are no jump scares or gore.”
Barbir also confirms the sequel has many technical improvements of the original Escape Simulator, and this includes “a new rendering engine, rewritten netcode, improved physics, and enhanced animations.”
Escape Simulator will still be supported even after the launch of Escape Simulator 2, Pine Studio confirmed.
Like the original game, Escape Simulator 2 will also allow players to create their own escape rooms with the room editor. Room Editor 2.0 will have new features including a new lighting engine, building constructor and animation editor.
No release date for Escape Simulator 2 has been announced yet. But it’s coming to PC (Steam).
