Prison Architect, the management sim that lets you build your own brutal extension of the prison-industrial complex, will be arriving on mobile devices shortly. (The prisons don’t need to be bite-size - just the screens are! Unless you have one of those gigantic phablet-type things…)
A BAFTA award-winning game title boasting over two million players on PC and console, Prison Architect can now be enjoyed on-the-go, but only if you happen to be in the Netherlands. Paradox Interactive and Introversion Software have announced that Prison Architect: Mobile will be available via Google Play Store and the App Store in the Netherlands only, similar to Prison Architect ’s original Early Access run, so that players can help shape the mobile development process.

“Mobile devices are more than capable of delivering the kind of experience that we think of as authentically ‘Paradox’ – deep, replayable, challenging games that maintain the high level of quality our fans expect from us,” said Kim Nordström, SVP of Innovation at Paradox Interactive, in a press release. “ Prison Architect fits that mold perfectly, and we’re eager to help Introversion bring the game to more players across more platforms.”
“We’ve been actively supporting Prison Architect to keep expanding and improving the game since late 2012, and our community has continued to grow as well,” said Mark Morris, co-founder at Introversion Software. “A partner who understands long-term support and iteration is crucial for the future of Prison Architect , and it’s safe to say Paradox has experience in that area.”

Prison Architect: Mobile will be free to download and play, though capitalism haunts us all: additional content and more gameplay modes will be available as in-game purchases. Prison Architect: Mobile will be available more widely later this year.
