Mouldy Toof Studios created The Escapists 2 in conjunction with Team17. The competitive multiplayer pits between two and four players against each other and the player who breaks out from the confinement facility fastest wins the game. There are some unique escapes that require multiplayer to unlock where up to four players can assist each other when escaping prison. The game features both local and online cooperative multiplayer. The game features an expanded combat system which allows players to lock onto targets, block and perform light and heavy attacks. There are also more customization options for the player character. Comparing to its predecessors, the game has a larger variety of prisons, including prisoner transport vehicles and incarceration facilities set in space. Once the player character is caught, all contraband items in the inventory are lost and the inmate is put into solitary confinement.

The Escapists 2 features a crafting system which allows players to craft items like shovels, tasers and dummies to confuse guards.

A lockdown can also be caused by damaging the prison or misplacing guards' keys. Missing routines results in the prison's security level increasing at higher security levels, more guards patrol the prison, dogs sniff out contraband items stored by inmates, and, at the highest security level, a total lockdown occurs in which all inmates must return to their cells. The inmate must follow daily routines in the prison while completing quests for fellow inmates and seeking out opportunities to escape. In the game, players assume control of an inmate from a top-down perspective. Nintendo Switch and mobile phones versions were released in 20 respectively. It is the sequel to The Escapists (2015) and it was released worldwide for Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in August 2017. The Escapists 2 is a strategy role-playing video game developed by Mouldy Toof Studios and published by Team17. Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One
