Escape Room 2 Gets Another New Release Date A sequel to Escape Room was announced back in 2019, with the film going on to earn a number of release date delays and shifts, while the studio has since given the sequel a January 7, 2022 release date. When the sequel was first announced, it came with an April 2020 release date, only to be adjusted for a variety of unknown reasons, though it was only one of countless release date shifts that were announced by a number of studios in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The most recent update about the film came last October, which claimed it would be released sometime in 2021.
