'Undead', the eighth DLC expansion for hit prison management simulator Prison Architect, is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC with a suggested retail price of 2.99 USD / 2.09 GBP / 2.99 EUR.

Just in time for Halloween, players can add a horror-filled objective to their management gameplay in keeping an infectious spread at bay and your prison alive.

Undead introduces a straightforward survival element to gameplay that is easy to grasp but presents a worthwhile challenge to manage and master. By placing a Graveyard Quick Room in their prisons, players spawn the Undead that will crawl their way out of the ground. This unrelenting horde spreads their infection to other prisoners at a fast pace by getting them sick or biting them. Use every tool at your disposal to stop, drop, and roll heads of these walking corpses. If you need backup, call in reinforcements in the form of Bounty Hunters.

Undead is also available with Escape Mode, meaning players themselves can fight for survival to ward off the Undead and get out of prison.

Prison Architect: Undead Key Features (also available in “Escape Mode”):

• 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.
