Players will be sent to a legendary Ctesiphon, which was once the bustling center of the Persian Empire, in The Rogue Prince of Persia. The Prince needs to take action since the Huns, led by the evil chief Nogai, have invaded this magnificent city and are threatening to destroy it.

As he travels through vibrant biomes, the Prince must use all of his acrobatic skills to safely negotiate the procedurally generated levels, gather allies, equip new trinkets, unlock new equipment at the Oasis, and build up an arsenal of weapons. Players will be able to use the game’s trademark wall run to effortlessly navigate across gaps, evade traps, and outwit opponents as they become proficient at the platforming challenges. However, players will confront more dangers than only the environment when they battle a range of enemies, including the Huns with their dark shamanic magic and the beasts poisoned by this evil power.

With an original soundtrack written and recorded by ASADI, a Persian-American electronic music producer and performance artist, the game also significantly contributes to immersing players in a contemporary and epic image of Persian folklore. The Original Soundtrack of The Rogue Prince of Persia blends classic and contemporary sonorities, with rhythms that enhance the Prince’s movements and fluidity. The OST can be pre-saved HERE. It will be available on May 31 on Ubisoft Music and all streaming platforms.
