Major update

New Free Room Now Available

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone,

We’ve just pushed a new update for Escape Simulator 2, featuring a brand-new, completely free official level: The Illusion Room.

Set inside a mysterious museum, this one is packed with visual tricks, strange exhibits, and perspective-based puzzles. Expect it to take around 60 minutes if you're playing solo, or about 45 minutes in co-op.

For those looking for an extra challenge, we've also included the Illusion Darkest Room.

For the Builders

We’ve added a bunch of new Room Editor props straight from the Illusion Room, so you can start messing with perspective and illusions in your own custom rooms right away.

Patch Notes & Improvements

Along with the new room, this update includes:

  • 2 new outfits (plus 2 new "Darkest" outfits)

  • Fixed ending poses in certain rooms

  • General performance optimizations

  • Various translation fixes

  • Smaller bug fixes and improvements

What’s Next?

We’ve been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes cleanup to prep for the upcoming VR Update. We'll have more details to share on that soon.

We also have plenty more rooms in the works. Our first major DLC for Escape Simulator 2 is scheduled for later this year, bringing over 4 hours of new gameplay. Plus, we're working on another free room that will drop before the end of the year.


Escape Simulator 2 is on Sale

Just a quick heads-up that the game is currently on sale. If you’ve been holding off on getting it, or want to grab a copy for a co-op partner, now is a great time to jump in.

Escape Simulator 1 on Xbox

One last thing: Escape Simulator 1 is officially out on Xbox, and it’s included with Xbox Game Pass! If you play on console or have friends who do, you can check it out here: Escape Simulator on Xbox

Thanks as always for playing, and have fun getting confused in the Illusion Room!

–Pine team
