[Video] Escape Academy 2 Is Out Now: The First Open-World Escape Room Game, Day One on Game Pass
Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, developed by Coin Crew Games and published by iam8bit Presents, is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, priced at $19.99. Xbox Wire confirms the game joined Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one, with Xbox Play Anywhere support.
Xbox's pitch is direct: this is the first open-world escape room game. Where the original strung individual escape rooms together, the sequel turns the whole academy campus into an explorable open area, with traps and secrets tucked into classrooms, dorms and corners of the grounds, and a mystery reaching back to the school's founding for players to unravel before the bell rings.
The game can be played solo from start to finish, or in two-player co-op, online or in local split-screen. Players who hate racing a countdown also get a thoughtful option: a No-Timer Mode that turns the clock off so puzzles can be solved at their own pace.
iam8bit released the launch trailer on its official channel alongside the game. For friends who like solving puzzles together, there is a new school to break out of this weekend. (Source: Xbox Wire)
