Paradox Interactive has announced it’s parting ways with Prison Architect 2 developer Double Eleven after nine years on the popular management series, saying it “could not find a commercial agreement that worked for both parties”.
Double Eleven first became involved with Prison Architect after it was hired to port the game to consoles, and the studio took full control of the series when original developer Introversion Software sold the rights to Paradox in 2019. Since then, it’s released ten expansion packs, culminating in last year’s Jungle Pack, and has led development of a fully 3D sequel, Prison Architect 2.
Prison Architect 2 was unveiled in January this year, promising a “greater degree of player freedom, impactful choices, and inmate simulation”. It was originally due to launch in March but has since received two delays – once into May and then to September – most recently to address “unexpected issues occuring too often” despite the game being “certified on all platforms”.
