Incarceration-themed management sim Prison Architect is getting a new Alcatraz-inspired paid expansion, known as Island Bound, which comes to PC and consoles on 11th June.
As its name suggests, Island Bound is all about creating prisons that, through the wonders of watery surrounds, aren’t restricted to a single access road. New ferry and helicopter transport options (making use of docks and helipads) can be used to deliver supplies and inmates with greater efficiency to prison compounds – although, as publisher Paradox Interactive notes, this also means more access routes by which prisoners can sneak in contraband.
To combat this, new security facilities make it easier to search deliveries and prisoners as they enter a complex, or at key security checkpoints, and special emergency services – including Air Firefighters and Paramedics, plus Elite Ops Teams – can be summoned as required.
