“ Prison Architect has been an intensely rewarding project for us,” said Mark Morris, Co-founder of Introversion Software.
We promise to exercise good behavior with this cherished title going forward.” “Just as we’ve done for other management-strategy games like Cities: Skylines and Surviving Mars, I believe the considerable player base of Prison Architect will be excited to see where we can take the game next, and we’re eager to explore development of potential new games based off of the ‘Architect’ IP. “Ever since our partnership with Introversion in 2017, the Paradox team has felt that Prison Architect is a natural fit for our catalogue,” said Ebba Ljungerud, CEO of Paradox Interactive.
PRISON ARCHITECT PLATFORMS PC
Inspired by management simulators like Theme Hospital, Dwarf Fortress,and Dungeon Keeper, the game has won a BAFTA award for the “Persistent Game” category and has sold over two million copies across PC and console platforms. Prison designs will include basic necessities like cells, canteens, guard rooms, and infrastructure, but players can also include features like solitary confinement, workout areas, and even an execution chamber. In Prison Architect, players are tasked with the construction and maintenance of a maximum security prison, from laying out cell blocks and inmate facilities to managing staff pay and prisoner morale. This acquisition also allows Paradox to continue development of Prison Architect going forward, and to explore opportunities with the wider “Architect” IP in the future.
PRISON ARCHITECT PLATFORMS ANDROID
Paradox will take ownership of Prison Architect on all current and any future platforms, including Windows, MacOS, and Linux PCs, and Switch, Xbox and PlayStation consoles, in addition to their ongoing publishing of Prison Architect: Mobile on iOS and Android tablets. Paradox Interactive, a publisher and developer of games for the general population, today announced the purchase of all rights and assets for the Prison Architect IP, a BAFTA award-winning management simulation game developed by Introversion Software. The game was released for Nintendo Switch last year. Prison Architect is a game where players build and maintain a maximum security prison. With the acquisition, Paradox Interactive will now continue development of the IP, and “explore opportunities” with the “Architect” IP in the future. Paradox Interactive has announced it has completed a purchase of the Prison Architect IP from Introversion Software.
