Montreal, Quebec, October 10, 2024 - TREBUCHET, a leading VR studio based in Montreal, announced today that Prison Boss: Prohibition, sequel to smash hit VR title Prison Boss, hatches its Alpha today, allowing gamers to go hell-for-feather in the first live playtest of this eggstravagant new VR sequel!
Launching in Spring 2025 on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, PC VR and PlayStation® VR 2, Prison Boss: Prohibition takes gamers from behind their prison cells of the first game to the sprawling streets of New Yolk City, tasked with supplying the residents 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 a flap of eggcitement, would-be bootleggers can join the Alpha launching today! Those who wish to join are encouraged to join the official Discord here: https://discord.gg/prisonboss
