Prince of Persia fans have a lot to be excited about this year! First, we got Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a game people liked. Now, Ubisoft announced another one: The Rogue Prince of Persia, made with Evil Empire, the folks behind Dead Cells. It’s coming to Steam on May 14 in early access.
This game is like Dead Cells—it’s a side-scrolling roguelite. You control the Prince of Persia, who can come back to life after dying, thanks to a special gadget. The idea is to keep trying, dying, and getting better with upgrades. It’s a popular style of game that many people enjoy.
Even though it looks similar to Dead Cells, the moves and skills are all from Prince of Persia. You can do things like wall running and other cool acrobatics in randomly generated levels. The game has beautiful landscapes inspired by Persian architecture.
You get to pick different weapons like daggers, spears, swords, and axes, along with secondary gear like bows and grappling hooks. Each playthrough is unique. Ubisoft plans to update the game based on player feedback, adding new stuff like levels, bosses, and weapons.
The Rogue Prince of Persia was announced at a showcase for indie games. Evil Empire, the developer, isn’t big like Ubisoft, but they’ve worked on other famous games like Dead Cells with a Castlevania twist.
