2024 YEAR IN REVIEW

January

Prison Breakout received a massive update to its map - with a completely redesigned prison and island, made entirely in UEFN.

FEBRUARY

In February, Prison Breakout made full use of the brand new UEFN tools by adding custom features with Verse coding, like Dial-a-Ride. Not only that, but we also introduced an all-new city to the island: Ashbrook Hills!

march

In March, we expanded by adding additional developers to work on Prison Breakout; bringing Perjoka, HyperDiamond and Big Boomer to the team.

april

In April, Prison Breakout's quality of life was increased tenfold when we introduced a custom Weapon Store UI, beautiful landscapes to the island, and even created an XP Levelling system to reward our most loyal players.

MAY

In May, Prison Breakout players were treated to an all-new update which allowed them to rob more than your average store. The Bank was added to Ashbrook Hills, creating a new thrilling heist for Criminals.

JUNE

In June, we added a new type of way to get around in Prison Breakout - Boats! That's not all, we also began the process of working on replacing a majority of the map's assets from Epic Games' stock to our own custom made models.

JULY

In July, we established a new publishing and development team known as Breakout Games to oversee work on Prison Breakout and more experiences in the future.

AUGUST

In August, it was time to celebrate Summer in Prison Breakout with a massive seasonal update.

We overhauled store robberies, added a new team balancing system, a new Mythic/Exotic store, Proximity Chat and SUVs were now available.

SEPTEMBER

In September, Autumn was beginning to strike as Prison Breakout started to turn orange. Players could now ride around on Dirt Bikes, hit the new Bike Track location, and even tame or fight wildlife in the area.

This month also marked the first time Prison Breakout had ever reached the milestone of 50 minutes of average playtime per player.

EARLY OCTOBER

On October 10, Breakout Games made its first ever acquisition.

We purchased Outlaw's Haven, an open-world roleplay map set in the Wild West with over 12 million total players.

late OCTOBER

In late October, Prison Breakout received its biggest Halloween update so far - allowing players to become a Werewolf and eliminate others.

We also added quests, rewards and a snowy mountain range - along with new escape routes and a Quick Menu.

NOVEMBER 9

On November 9, Breakout Games released a new spin-off game, titled Prison Red vs Blue. In this mode, players could face off against the opposing team with a variety of weapons and abilities.

NOVEMBER 25

On November 25, The Game Awards revealed Prison Breakout as an official nominee for their annual “User Created Fortnite Island of the Year” award.

The winner was decided through in-game voting and announced live during The Game Awards ceremony in December.

DECEMBER

In December, Prison Breakout players were introduced to a massive holiday-themed update, known as Prison Breakout: The Ice Age.

The island was now surrounded by a huge Ice Wall which melted over the start of the month. When the event began, we gave away 14 rewards in a daily advent calendar. We also overhauled the entire island with a new Ice theme which took months of work!
