Evil Empire’s The Rogue Prince of Persia received a new gameplay trailer during Xbox’s Gamescom broadcast, confirming its availability today on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC (alongside Game Pass). It will launch for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 later this year. Check it out below, complete with some sleek new animation.
As a side-scrolling action platformer, The Rogue Prince of Persia focuses on The Prince, as he fights to save his loved ones from an invasion he caused. The movement and platforming are very much akin to the older games, with an emphasis on exploration. However, because of a special medallion, every death sends him back to the hub-like Oasis, lending a rogue-like approach.
Similar to Dead Cells, players can choose different weapons and Medallions for unique passive effects. You can also visit the various biomes in whatever order, which influences the narrative (and who you have to save).
Interestingly, Evil Empire didn’t mention details on the game’s exit from early access and what the 1.0 update may contain. Stay tuned for more updates on that front in the meantime.
