Indie video game publisher Retroware and Programancer are thrilled to announce a massive new update is available for Prison City, offering a wealth of quality-of-life improvements, a brand-new special attack, mini-games, and more to the game, which originally released on consoles and PC in 2023.
Some of the changes introduced in Prison City version 1.0.4.0 include:
-
There are now two versions of DCP Headquarters (DCP2): COMPACT and SPRAWLING. COMPACT is the default on Easy and Modern, while SPRAWLING is the original gauntlet intended for veteran players
-
Hal can now perform a new Special Attack with his chakram—activated using a directional button.
-
Hal can jump mid-slide or attack while sliding.
-
Input switching is now done on any press of a desired input (on keyboard or controller).
-
New minigame variants in Bomber Mode
After serving a lengthy stint on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo Switch eShop, Prison City will soon be breaking out of its digital penitentiary courtesy of Limited Run Games. A physical edition of the game will be available to pre-order on PS5 and Nintendo Switch starting next Tuesday, February 17 through March 22 and will include a reversible cover, manual, and 3 Crazy Caps.
Inspired by Escape from New York and 8-bit classics like Shatterhand and Power Blade, Prison City throws players into the crime-infested city of Detroit after it’s been transformed into a sprawling mega prison. After a group of Techno-Terrorists seizes control of the crumbling metropolis, ex-cop Hal Bruzer is called back from retirement by his mentor, “The Chief,” to bring them down and hopefully restore the city’s spirit.
About Prison City: Developed by Programancer (The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit and The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest), Prison City is an action-packed side-scroller where players use chakrams and grenades to infiltrate eight security zones, defeat challenging bosses, and discover hidden upgrades. Equipped with a host of customization options, a “Boss Rush”, “Bomb Mode”, and a retro-themed soundtrack by Raddland Studios, Prison City is a modern retro homage to classic NES titles.
