Publisher Ubisoft and developer Evil Empire have announced that the roguelite game The Rogue Prince of Persia will leave early access sometime in August. The game is available on PC via Steam. A release date trailer was also released. The Rogue Prince of Persia first launched in Early Access on May 27, 2024. A trailer showing several gameplay elements and bosses was also released.
The developer’s message regarding the game’s release:
Hello everyone,
Yes that’s right, 1.0 is fast approaching so our Early Access journey with you will soon be over. We’ll get all emotional on the day, but let’s just say for now that we are very very grateful for everyone who supported us through this crazy intense Early Access, in which the game has evolved so much! <3
So, we just announced at the PC Gaming Show that the 1.0 release will be in August 2025. Check out the trailer for a sneak peek at some of the content coming on the big day.What will that content be? Well of course we need to finally finish the story, so we’ll be adding an extra biome at the same stage as the Tower of Oblivion and the Temple, as well as a final biome and of course the big bad final boss—the infamous King Nogai—PLUS the “third act” of the story which has a true ending to discover and where you’ll finally meet the Prince’s father, the King of Persia.On top of that there’ll be new enemies, weapons, etc.—the usual goodies!More information about the actual release date and other stuff like consoles will be coming soon and we have an update coming this month as well, so look out for that.Cheers,Matt and the Evil Empire team.
The game’s details via Steam:
Experience a fast-paced, challenging but accessible roguelite as you master acrobatic moves and flow seamlessly between platforming and combat. Find new weapons, equip trinkets with special effects and upgrade them to make your own builds. Discover new characters, information and areas as you try to find a way to save Persia from a Hun invasion and become the hero you have always wanted to be.
Key Features
A Persia in Peril – Lead the Prince in his fight against a Hun army corrupted by dark shamanic magic and find your place in the royal family as you explore a vibrant reinterpretation of Persia. Put the pieces of the puzzle together and discover new areas as you enter the fight again and again, meeting a cast of colorful characters through non-linear story progression.
Become the Prince of Persia – Flow seamlessly between platforming and combat, using your acrobatic moves to outmaneuver and outsmart your enemies. Use the iconic wall-run to open new routes of attack, avoid traps and explore hard to reach areas. Kick and dodge to manage groups of enemies when the odds are against you.
Adapt and Improve on the Run – Choose from a variety of deadly weapons and equip new medallions each run to unleash devastating effects, giving you the freedom to change your fighting style as you wish. Secondary weapons offer even more options, from bows to shields to grappling hooks. Switch your loadout mid-run to adapt to new challenges.
Rise to Meet the Challenge – Unlock new weapons and medallions and learn from your mistakes to become more powerful with every death. New challenges await you each time as every level is procedurally generated, so no two runs are ever the same.
