Microsoft announced today that Taito-developed puzzle title Exit 2 will be hitting the Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday.

Now with new characters and companions, the sequel once again casts players into the role of professional escapist Mr. Esc, who must guide a number of individuals trapped within hazardous environments, such as a burning building or flooded underground labyrinth, to safety. In addition to 240 all-new stages of puzzle solving mania, a handpicked selection of 30 stages from the original have been included.
