Escape from New York From Chicago (2026)

Chicago’s prison territories are tightly controlled by militarized factions. The Stockyard Nation controls the industrial south side, running brutal scavenger operations through abandoned slaughterhouses. The Magnificent Mile Syndicate operates out of the city’s former financial district, ruling through organized crime and calculated violence. Along the shoreline, the Lakefront Raiders dominate the highways with fast-moving vehicle gangs. Snake knows how to move through hostile territory, but Chicago is different. Here, every neighborhood is claimed, every street watched. And the eyes watching him closest belong to the very woman who’s hired him to guide her. There’s bad blood between Maya Torres and Snake Plissken…And if they can survive the macheted maniacs on all sides, they’ll have to contend with each other. Chapter two of the genre-breaking thriller!

Once you go in, you don’t come out— —unless your name is Snake Plissken! Plissken now survives as a coyote, smuggling people and contraband across the dangerous dead zones between prison territories like Chicago. It’s a hard and bitter job. But when he’s hired to extract a woman wanted by the city’s warlord, Snake sees one more chance at redemption—or one more chance for the universe to kick his ass. Introducing new settings and characters with all the dystopian insanity you know and love, superstar writer & film director Kyle Higgins teams with artist Val Rodrigues for an explosive new series revamping the beloved film franchise!
