Double Eleven and Paradox Interactive have announced the new Halloween-themed Prison Architect: “Undead” expansion. The eighth expansion for the game rolls out on October 11 and adds a new Graveyard Quick Room, survival mode, specialized traps, and more.

Watch the announcement trailer below:

Highlights of the Prison Architect: Undead expansion include:

  • Welcome the Graveyard
    This brand new Quick Room satisfies your inmates’ needs for Freedom and Comfort, making them feel calmer for 12 hours. Be mindful when you add gravestones though, as they will easily interrupt this peaceful atmosphere…
  • The rise of the dead
    In Undead, no one is safe. And there are many ways to become infected. One inmate can get sick, some others can be bitten by an unfriendly undead, or again a bunch of infected inmates can rise (aka spawn) directly from the Graveyard. Wardens have no power over the Infected units, they will move and act independently in the prison until stopped. Inmates and guards can try and fight them off, but if they fail, they will join the deadly bunch!
  • Who you gonna call? Bounty Hunters!
    When things go south (because they will) and your prison can’t hold off the outbreak, call the Bounty Hunter Emergency Service: tough, trained bounty hunters will join your fight against the undead.
  • New traps, techniques, and weapons
    Desperate times call for desperate (and creative) measures. Use Undead chum to lure the undead, build a walled-off area and lock them inside, or steal that glorious chainsaw you’ve been eyeing for a while: everything is allowed to fight off the horde.

A free update, titled “The Kickstand” will also launch alongside the expansion:

This update brings a range of additions and improvements to the game. Two new dogs, Corgis, and Siberian Huskies, arrive for some cuddly fun, and three quickrooms expand your prisons: Security, Kennel, and Parole. Additionally, cameras can now be locked and monitors can be made a priority for guards. Courtesy of community feedback, we’ve also added a new empty room that players can use to separate prisons into different sectors without the need to wall them off.

The Prison Architect: Undead expansion releases October 11 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 priced at $2.99/£2.09/€2.99.
