Montreal, Quebec, September 24, 2024 - TREBUCHET, a leading VR studio based in Montreal, announced today that Prison Boss: Prohibition, sequel to smash hit VR title Prison Boss, is set to hatch on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, PC VR and PlayStation® VR 2 eggspecting to launch in spring 2025.
The eggsellent news keeps coming however; TREBUCHET is delighted to announce that gamers can sign up for the Alpha today, due to begin October 9, 2024.
Prison Boss: Prohibition takes gamers from behind bars to running bars, tasked with supplying the denizens of New Yolk City with all manner of legal and not-so-legal merchandise, all while working to avoid the feathery arm of the law, and staying on the good side of the corrupt city Mayor in any way possible!
See the new trailer here!
In Prison Boss: Prohibition players assume the role of a chicken on a mission: building your business, plying your trade, crafting, selling and trading everything from mind-melting moonshine and brewed beer through to hand rolled cigarettes and hand-drawn erotic magazines. You’ll have to juggle as you smuggle, however! The police are determined to scramble your enterprise and seize your bootleg bounty, so clucking under the radar will be the name of the game as you dip your beak, eggspand your empire and climb to the top of New Yolk City’s pecking order.
Key to Prison Boss: Prohibition is the all-new addition of co-op play, allowing gamers to join up together as they feather their nests through their shady schemes. With a shell-egant control scheme designed specifically for VR, Prison Boss: Prohibition is no poultry pretender! It’s the ultimate VR tycoon game that’s fun in single player mode and even better when played with a friend in co-op mode.
In anticipation of release, expected in spring 2025, TREBUCHET is flapping with excitement, inviting would-be bootleggers to sign up to the Alpha launch of the game, starting October 9th, 2024.

“We wanted to make a sequel to Prison Boss only if it brought something new for our players, we thought that nothing feels more fresh than crafting moonshine with a chicken-shaped friend in co-op,” said Vincent Brunet-Dupont, CEO, and co-founder of TREBUCHET. “Taking the action out of the cells and onto the streets of New Yolk City opens up the gameplay in incredible new ways and we can’t wait to bring gamers into the Alpha starting October 9th.”
