PRISONS: Season 12 Update

Saturday, March 29th 2025 - 16:00 EST / 20:00 UTC

Hello Faders and Miners!

We wanted to sneak this update in before a bigger update coming soon to some other game modes. We know it's been a little while since we took a look at Prisons, but we're happy to announce that Season 12 is OUT NOW!

Not only that, but we've taken feedback from the most recent Gens update and we're experimenting by introducing a couple gameplay systems from Gens into Prisons. If you're on the more fashionable side of the community, we also have an update for you. Let's jump into it!

GAMEPLAY UPDATES

Collectables

Following successful tests in Gens, we're expanding the new Collectables and Auras systems to other game modes, starting with Season 12 of Prisons.

If you don't know what Collectables are, here's a quick explainer for you new players.

Collectables are a range of over 50 unique bonuses that affect currencies and other aspects during gameplay. In Prisons, this will include the money, blocks, orbs, and gems currencies. The more of a type of collectable you have, will lead to a stronger effect. You can find these collectables whilst mining.

Like in Gens, collectables are fully tradable between players, leading to careful negotiation and strategy for those that like to dip into the social and economic sides of the metagame. We've also updated Collectables to have shiny variants that are rarer to find!

Auras

Auras were also introduced in Gens Season 14, and are a more permanent and consistent path of progression.

Unlike Collectables, Auras are a permanent multiplier to your boosts. They will grow stronger in effect as you gather lower tiers. There are currently 10 Auras to choose from.

We're looking forward to seeing how both these systems change gameplay, as well as any feedback on how Auras and Collectables could be expanded.

Skins Rebranded

In Prisons Season 12, we're expanding the Skins system to allow for more impactful gameplay whilst still being a highly desirable piece of fashion.

Skins will now have gameplay effects that boost how you play in Prisons. One example is the skin below - Frostbane (common) adds a 1.5x multiplier for luck.

There will be over 50 of these unique skins at launch, coming in different tiers of rarity, and strength of effect. You'll be given a number of free rolls to get rarer skins. You can also pay gems to upgrade your earned skins with stronger effects and the chance of multiple rolls.
