The Rogue Prince of Persia is set in a fictional rendition of Ctesiphon, the capital of the Persian Empire. The city faces invasion by the Hun's army of possessed soldiers, led by the malevolent Hun chief, Nogai. Players will embody the Prince, who was gifted with a mystical bola that resurrects him each time he dies. This magical artifact has let him take huge risks to perfect the skills of acrobatics & combat in his youth, molding him into a formidable warrior. In attempt after attempt, players must help the Prince explore different biomes, master new weapons, equip new trinkets, upgrade his gears at the Oasis and rally his allies to save the city from destruction.

To master the platforming sections, players will have to use the iconic wall run, allowing them to easily cross gaps, avoid traps and outmaneuver enemies. From the aqueduct to the grand academy, by way of the wild gardens, the Prince must use all his acrobatic skills to safely find a route through procedurally generated levels made of a variety of colorful biomes, inspired by Persian architecture.

On top of all the environmental hazards players will have to deal with, they must fight through various enemies, both Huns wielding the dark shamanic magic and creatures corrupted by its influence. Plenty of weapon options are available, to suit all playstyles, from twin daggers to spears, broad swords, and axes. Secondary weapons open the combat even further, with a choice of shields, bows, grappling hooks and more! Using these in combination with the wall run, shoulder vault, kick and stomp makes the Prince a formidable warrior, and also makes each run completely unique.

Ubisoft and Evil Empire announced that The Rogue Prince of Persia will no longer be getting content updates.

Hello Everyone

We wanted to share that the Anniversary Update recently released is our final update for The Rogue Prince of Persia.

We originally planned two updates, but decided to bring the best and most important parts of both into this one. We’ve always been a bit too optimistic about what we could do, mostly because we genuinely love working on the game, but we feel this is the right way to wrap up its first year.
More than one million players have played The Rogue Prince of Persia, which is pretty crazy to think about for our very first game as a studio. It’s been an honour and a privilege to work on such an iconic franchise, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who played, supported us, or followed along.
We hope you had as much fun playing the Prince as we had making him. And please, don’t try to wall-run in real life. It may sound stupid, but one of our developers actually broke a leg doing exactly that. So… stick to the game. It’s time to say goodbye to the Prince. We hope he keeps running for a very, very long time. Thank you,
The whole Evil Empire and The Rogue Prince of Persia Team

The game’s soundtrack is produced and composed by ASADI, a Persian-American Electronic Music Producer and Performance Artist. His talent and creativity will immerse players into a modern and epic vision of Persian folklore. The Rogue Prince of Persia’s Original Soundtrack is a fusion between traditional and modern sonorities, with rhythms supporting the moves and flow of the Prince.

Evil Empire studio benefits from a solid experience of 2D action-platforming rogue-lites. Wanting to start a brand-new project, they approached Ubisoft with their own take on the Prince of Persia brand, well known for its innovative spirit and gameplay masterclass.  Ubisoft, as the publisher, and Evil Empire, as the developer, chose to release the game in Early Access on Steam to work with the community and make the best game possible with the players, using the existing polished heart as a base. As time passes, players can expect new levels, bosses, weapons, enemies and upgrades to arrive, as well as additions based on community feedback. As of now the story has a hard stop in-game, but more will come!

The Rogue Prince Of Persia is available for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and  PC (Steam).
