Earlier this afternoon The Rogue Prince of Persia performed the ever-elusive shadow-drop and launched simultaneously across PC (Steam, Ubisoft Connect, and EGS), PS5, and Xbox Series – it even landed on Amazon Luna, whatever that is…
There’s also some good news for Game Pass PS Plus Premium subscribers: The Rogue Prince of Persia is also available on both services. It’s include in Ubisoft+, too.
There’s a Switch 2 version of the game in the pipeline, but there’s no confirmed release date as yet.
Our Kieran is a lifelong fan of the series and has been playing the newest entry in the Ubisoft franchise over the weekend. We had hoped to get our review ready for this moment, but good things come to those who wait and you’re going to have to hold on for a little while longer for all the opinions.
In the meantime, the essentials you need to know about this latest PoP adventure is that it’s the handiwork of Evil Empire, the studio that previously developed a bunch of the DLC for Dead Cells. They know how to platform, basically.
For what it’s worth, I enjoyed the game as it moved through Early Access, and had a jolly time when it first launched last summer, and again after the major overhaul mentioned in the trailer below.
It’s also worth remembering that the final 1.0 update added a bunch of new content for existing players, including two new biomes (Port of Ctesiphon and the Besieged Palace), plus the final chapter a big bad to go with it.
Finally, rather than a boring launch trailer, I like this approach from the developers, where you get to find out a bit more about the project in this behind the scenes feature!
