The Rogue Prince of Persia may be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch when the title fully releases. Currently in early access, The Rogue Prince of Persia was released as a PC exclusive in May 2024, with its combat, fast-paced platforming, and roguelike gameplay loop quickly impressing players on Steam.
Developed by the French studio Evil Empire and published by Ubisoft, The Rogue Prince of Persia is set in the city of Ctesiphon and tasks players with protecting the area from the Hun army. While the title incorporates some gameplay mechanics from past games in the franchise, it has no direct connection to them, instead crafting an entirely new narrative. The Rogue Prince of Persia saw a small delay last summer, as the surprise release of Hades 2 prompted the developers to avoid competition and give the highly anticipated title time to breathe before releasing their own roguelike in early access. Players have been enjoying the title so far, and if a new report is to be believed, even more may get the chance to give it a try in the near future.
