Construction management system Prison Architect, where players are tasked with constructing and managing their own private prison, is getting the Jungle Pack DLC on February 7 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game. Prison Architect is also available for Nintendo Switch, but the DLC will not be available for Switch as Paradox is no longer supporting that version of the game.
Prison Architect first released as part of the Steam Early Access program, generating a dedicated fan base leading up to its full launch in 2015. Initially releasing for PC, Prison Architect was eventually ported to home consoles. Support has continued for the game ever since, with new DLC, free updates, and more keeping fans engaged with Prison Architect for the long-term. The Jungle Pack DLC is next on deck for Prison Architect fans.
The Jungle Pack DLC for Prison Architect will cost $2.99 at launch and give players a new jungle-themed aesthetic to customize their prisons with. Players will be given the tools to create a jungle-themed prison complete with wooden furniture, new flooring types, new walls, and new doors that all fit the jungle theme. Prison Architect players can chop down trees to sell or gain lumber, with the option to build wood variants of structures like guard towers, drains, and more. The jungle environment also introduces some new threats, though, with the potential for tropical fever to spread among the Prison Architect inmates. Players can utilize new medical features like netted beds and fire pits to keep the disease at bay.
While the Jungle Pack DLC may be of most interest to Prison Architect fans, there's also a new free update to look forward to on February 7 as well. Launching alongside the Jungle Pack DLC is the free Jailhouse update, which promises to introduce various quality-of-life improvements to the game along with a new Yorkshire Terrier dog. Between the free update and the Jungle Pack DLC, it seems safe to say that February 7 is going to be a big day for Prison Architect fans.
Prison Architect is nearly eight years old at this point, so it will be interesting to see how long it continues to receive new premium DLC and free updates like this. It's possible the developers will eventually move on, but for now, Prison Architect fans can mark February 7 on their calendars.
Prison Architect is available now for mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. The Jungle Pack DLC and Jailhouse update will be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game starting February 7.
