Initially announced late last year, and announced for Switch early this year, the successor to the cult favourite, The Escapists, has a plethora of update features, not limited to improved graphics and adding multiplayer (which I'm personally stoked about). Here you can join forces with up to three friends in split screen for two players or up to four players online/LAN.

In the latest trailer you're trying to escape from Rattlesnake Springs, and though the core principles have stayed the same you've got a few more options to help you out. Aside from befriending prisoners, keeping out of the sheriff's eye, and beefing up, you've also got new recipes on the crafting menu - like knotted bedsheets and cattle prods.
There's still no definite Nintendo Switch launch date just yet, but we'll let you know when they information comes about.
