Early Access for The Rogue Prince of Persia has been delayed until the end of May

The game The Rogue Prince of Persia was released for PRAÇA (Steam) in Early Access scheduled for May 14, 2024, but this will not happen due to the launch of the game Hades II in early access on May 6th.

Still without a new date set, we can read in the statement from Evil Empire:

Since everyone and their mothers are playing that game (including our entire team… and their mothers), we decided to let people have fun with it before we release The Rogue Prince of Persia.

While we have every confidence in The Rogue Prince of Persia, it's not every day that a game in the same genre, which is one of the most anticipated games of 2024, launches into early access a week before you plan to do the same.

We are not proud enough to ignore the implications of this and we truly believe this small delay is the best decision for us and our Early Access journey.

Through the page The Rogue Prince of Persia at Steam we can read:

Play a dynamic, challenging and accessible roguelite as you master acrobatic maneuvers and quickly switch from platform jumping to combat. Find new weapons, equip devices with special effects and improve them to create your own combinations. Discover new characters, information and areas as you try to save Persia from an invasion by the Huns and become the hero you always wanted to be.

A PERSIA IN DANGER

Control the Prince as he fights a Hun army corrupted by dark shamanic magic and finds your place in the royal family as you explore a vibrant reinterpretation of Persia. Put the puzzle pieces together and discover new areas as you jump into the game and interact with a cast of interesting characters in a non-linear campaign progression.

BECOME THE PRINCE OF PERSIA

Easily switch from platform jumping to combat as you use acrobatic maneuvers to defeat your enemies. Use the famous wall run to open up new attack routes, avoid traps and explore hard-to-reach areas. Use kicks and dodges to take on groups of enemies when the odds are against you.

ADAPT AND IMPROVE YOUR MOVEMENTS

Choose from a variety of deadly weapons and equip new medallions in each campaign to unleash devastating effects, with the freedom to change your fighting style as you wish. Secondary weapons offer even more options, from bows and shields to climbing hooks. Change your equipment during the campaign to adapt to new challenges.

AWAKEN YOUR POWER AND FACE CHALLENGES

Unlock new weapons and medallions and learn from your own mistakes to become more powerful with each kill. New challenges await you with each campaign, as each level is generated randomly, so you won't play the campaign the same way.
