Good news for fans of Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, as the game is likely to be released this November. The team at iam8bit confirmed they are eyeing a November 2026 launch window, but failed to set an official date. The co-op puzzle adventure sequel has been in the works for over a year now, and beyond a free demo released back in December 2025, we've only seen a bunch of developer blogs on Steam from Coin Crew Games, updating us on how it looks and what they're adding. At the very least, we got a bunch of new images from the news, which we have for you below.
School's Back In Session This November in Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School
Welcome to Escape Academy, the world's foremost clandestine educator in the art of Escape. Whether you're a returning student or a new pupil, you've come to the right place. Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School evolves the escape room format of the first game into a whole new genre: This is the first open-world escape room game, and it's available right in the comfort of your own home. Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School features an all-new campaign boasting handcrafted, best-in-class escape rooms built by our team of veteran puzzle designers. But unlike real-life escape rooms, the puzzles in Escape Academy aren't bound by those stuffy safety regulations: Spiked ceilings? Check. 100-foot drops? Check. And, most-dreaded of all… Final exams? Double check. The curriculum here at the Academy is equal parts life-threatening and wacky, because what better way to learn than while confronting one's mortality?

The campus is one big puzzle room. Between classes, explore a sprawling, secret-filled hub with mysterious passageways, hidden tunnels, and dangerous traps. Or chill out with your pals and take in all the *vibes* that student life has to offer. Whatever the case, the Academy's your new home away from home. Escaping with a friend has never been this fun. Escape Academy 2 features both online and splitscreen couch co-op support. And thanks to the new optional No-Timer Mode, students of all backgrounds can puzzle at their preferred pace.
