The subsequent Prince of Persia sport from Ubisoft, reportedly named The Rogue Prince of Persia, is being developed by Useless Cells DLC developer Evil Empire and is coming to Steam early entry later this yr.
It’d appear to be we simply acquired a Prince of Persia sport just lately, and that’s as a result of…we did. Earlier this very yr, Ubisoft launched Prince Persia: The Misplaced Crown—a 2.5d Metroidvania platformer—to rave evaluations from followers and critics. And now, a brand new report claims one other new Prince of Persia sport is simply across the nook.
On April 3, Insider Gaming reported that Evil Empire—a spin-off studio of Movement Twin that was behind a lot of Useless Cells DLC and later updates—-has spent the previous 4 years engaged on The Rogue Prince of Persia, the subsequent entry within the long-running franchise. Sources instructed Insider Gaming that the brand new sport is a roguelite and the plan is to launch in early entry on Steam and replace the sport often based mostly on neighborhood suggestions. If true, this shall be Ubisoft’s first day-one Steam launch since 2019.
We don’t know but when The Rogue Prince of Persia shall be unveiled or formally introduced, however Prime Time News24 suggests it could possibly be revealed on the upcoming indie sport occasion, Triple I Initiative Showcase, on April 10. Evil Empire is ready to unveil a brand new undertaking through the showcase and it’s very seemingly that it is going to be this new Prince of Persia sport. No launch date was reported past later this yr. No console ports had been talked about, both.
As beforehand talked about, we already acquired a brand new Prince of Persia sport earlier this yr. So after a protracted hibernation—with solely cell sport releases since 2010’s Forgotten Sands on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC—abruptly Ubisoft is doubling down on the basic collection.
In the meantime, that remake of Sands of Time remains to be MIA 4 years after it was introduced. In 2023, Ubisoft quietly confirmed that the remake—which was deliberate to launch in 2021 at one level—had mainly restarted growth. No phrase on when to count on that entry within the collection.
