Prison City, Philly-area indie publisher and developer Retroware’s tough-as-nails 8-bit action platformer, is now available to pre-order on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch at Limited Run Games. Priced at $34.99 (USD), both versions include the final game on cartridge/disc, a reversible cover, and 3 Crazy Caps. Unfortunately, Xbox players are left in the cold due to Microsoft/Xbox’s requirements for physical copies.
To celebrate Prison City escaping its stint in the digital slammer and the launch of the new free update, Retroware has released a brand-new deep dive video. Narrated by the studio’s Creative Director, Justin Silverman, the video explores Prison City’s origins as a love letter to classic 90s NES games and over-the-top VHS-era action cinema, showcases its pumping chiptune soundtrack composed by Matt Creamer, and highlights the new modes and features introduced in Version 1.0.4.0..
