The Rogue Prince of Persia is a 2D action-platforming rogue-lite game that is available worldwide via Steam Early Access for $19.99, with a 10% discount right now, according to Ubisoft and partner studio Evil Empire. The GeForce Now service allows users to play the game as well. The Rogue Prince of Persia Early Access will launch with six biomes, eight primary weapons, six potent tools, two monster encounters, and thirty trinkets that may be combined in countless ways to accommodate different playstyles.
Players can anticipate more material to be added in the lead-up to the official 1.0 launch, including new bosses, stages, weapons, opponents, and upgrades in addition to changes based on community feedback.
Lucie Dewagnier, Game Director at Evil Empire states, “I am extremely excited to show The Rogue Prince of Persia to the players, and I’m really looking forward to the game becoming not just ours, but a project between us and the community!”
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.
