Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven have revealed the seventh expansion for the hit sim Prison Architect, and this time, it’s up to you to clean up prison gang culture.
The Gangs expansion will see the wrinkle of organised groups forming within your prison, which will require the enforcement of a strict code of conduct and rehabilitation to curb the spread of dangerous gangs and the chaos they can bring.
Prison Architect: Gangs DLC Release Date
The traits of inmates will determine the kind of gang they might be attracted to, and you’ll have to keep an eye out for corrupt guards taking bribes and smuggling contraband. Basically, the Gangs expansion will focus on keeping the ‘temperature’ of your prison down by handling escalating gang growth with tough love and brutal distractions such as organised fight clubs.
“Gangs introduces a whole slew of creative challenges for Wardens to overcome. While it sounds intimidating, the Gangs expansion keeps things fun and light-hearted for our players,” says Gaz Wright, Game Director on Prison Architect at Double Eleven. “We designed the reformation features to feel authentic while giving wardens clever options to handle gangs and increase their population’s happiness. Gangs expands Prison Architect’s management gameplay and adds enjoyable new mechanics, offering players a fuller and more fun gaming experience.”
The developers promise that this will all be relatively light-hearted fun instead of a stress headache amplifier, and it’ll add to the already engaging systems already in place.
No exact date on when Prison Architect: Gangs will arrive beyond ‘soon’. We do know it will retail for 5.99 USD/ 4.79 GBP/5.99 EUR.
