Hi Paradox team,
I hope you're doing well. I’m writing this message as a long-time fan of Prison Architect and someone who was genuinely excited for Prison Architect 2. But we are now in late May 2025, and it’s been nearly a year since your last official update.
Since the indefinite delay announcement in August 2024, there has been complete radio silence:
This is starting to feel less like a “delay” and more like a quiet cancellation, even if that hasn’t been said outright.
We understand that things can go wrong in game development, and we appreciate your desire to release a polished product. But at this point, the lack of transparency is doing more harm than good. Many of us are wondering if the project is still alive at all.
If development is ongoing:
Please reassure your community with some kind of update – even a short one.
If the game is on hold or being re-evaluated:
Be honest about it. Players would rather know the truth than be left in limbo.
If it has been canceled internally:
Please don’t leave your community in the dark. We deserve closure after all the excitement and support this sequel generated.
Thank you for your time and for listening. I really hope we hear something soon – even if it’s just to confirm where the project stands.
Sincerely,
A concerned fan

Since the indefinite delay announcement in August 2024, there has been complete radio silence:
- No dev diaries or blog posts
- No new screenshots, trailers, or gameplay updates
- No clear roadmap or confirmation of continued development
- No communication on the official Discord or social media platforms
This is starting to feel less like a “delay” and more like a quiet cancellation, even if that hasn’t been said outright.
