Samobor, Croatia – December 6, 2024 – Pine Studio has today announced Escape Simulator 2, the sequel to the best-selling first-person escape room game, coming to Steam. In this brand-new adventure for 1–8 players, budding puzzle solvers can immerse themselves in the series’ most intricate escape rooms yet, crafted with input from real-life escape room experts and legendary Escape Simulator community builders. Players will be able to explore detailed environments to uncover clues and solve a range of mysteries including the fate of a stranded starship, the secrets of Count Dracula’s castle, and the hidden location of a cursed pirate treasure.

Boris Barbir, Co-Founder at Pine Studio said: “A sequel gives us the opportunity to start fresh and push the boundaries of the escape room genre. For Escape Simulator 2, we were inspired to explore darker themes and experiment with new gameplay and puzzle mechanics. This sequel also brings significant technical upgrades, including a new rendering engine, rewritten netcode, improved physics, and enhanced animations. While Escape Simulator 2 adopts a darker, more mysterious tone compared to the original, it’s not a horror game—there are no jump scares or gore. We love the Escape Simulator community and we plan to continue supporting the original game while expanding and enhancing Escape Simulator 2 after its launch.”
Players wanting to stay up-to-date with the development of Escape Simulator 2 can wishlist the game on Steam. Meanwhile, the original Escape Simulator and its DLC are currently available on Steam at their biggest discount yet, celebrating the release of the brand-new Mayan DLC expansion. This update features four exciting escape room adventures set in the heart of the Mayan jungle.
Pine Studio welcomes ideas from its amazing community of escapers, puzzle solvers, and builders to share their ideas for future escape rooms. Suggestions can be submitted via the official developer Discord or by emailing the team at community@pinestudio.com.
