If you've been stuck in a jail these past few months waiting until The Escapists 2 was available to help speed your plans along, the wait is (almost) over.
The Escapists 2 are set to break out on August 22 with Team17 now ready to talk pricing and pre-order bonuses. One's important, the other is a little more decisive.
With August 22 now confirmed as the official Steam release day (timings will likely be talked about closer to the date), be ready to set aside £19.99/$19.99 for the privilege of seeing the convicts out of their hole.

While they're not available just yet, those who pre-order will bag themselves an additional prison for their devotion to the criminal cause - The Glorious Regime. Tasking players to escape a hidden compound found deep in the jungle, it only makes mention of dodging the usual guards, surveillance and the island's 'illustrious Leader'. Where are the tigers? The limb-shattering gorillas? If it's El Presidente, we'll let it slide.
If the wait is already a little too overbearing as it is, Team17 have set up an external site allowing you to Create-a-Con ahead of time. Of course, it's linked up to social media. The modern age is blissfully obvious.
