The reveal trailer for The Rogue Prince of Persia debuted during the showcase, showcasing its stunning art style and providing a glimpse of its roguelite gameplay. The game is set to launch on Steam in Early Access on May 14, with continuous updates planned, similar to Dead Cells. The plot of the game features a unique take on the unnamed Prince, distinguishing it from the Sands of Time trilogy and the recently released Lost Crown.
The Prince will be on a quest to “save Persia from a Hun invasion wielding dark magic.” It remains uncertain whether The Rogue Prince of Persia will be available on consoles beyond Steam. However, a console release could be expected once the game exits Early Access and reaches its 1.0 state.
While details about The Rogue Prince of Persia are limited, it is known that the game will focus on the series’ trademark “death-defying platforming and acrobatic combat.” Despite the introduction of the roguelite premise, it aligns with the series’ origins and appears to be a good fit for Evil Empire.
