Coin Crew Games has announced that Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School will launch for PS5 on November 5. The sequel trades the first game’s more linear path for a campus built around open exploration, while keeping the series’ escape-room puzzles at the center.
The developer says the Academy is divided into distinct areas filled with quests, puzzles and secrets. Two highlighted locations are the Headmaster’s Tower and the Humanities Campus, which returns in expanded form after the events of the first game.
Puzzles are no longer confined to individual rooms. Coin Crew Games says the campus itself contains interactable landmarks, side quests, escapes and hidden details that reward players for looking beyond the main route. The Humanities Campus will not be accessible immediately, but players can spot its keyhole-shaped fountain from other parts of the school before finding a way in.
Couch and online co-op will be available across the campus, story and puzzles from launch. Coin Crew Games also says the sequel is designed for newcomers as well as returning players, with new and familiar characters spread throughout the school.
