The Rogue PoP
Release Date: August 20, 2025
An action platformer with roguelike elements, developed by Evil Empire studio known for the post-launch support of Dead Cells. The Rogue Prince of Persia offers combat, puzzles and the feature to manipulate time. Levels are procedurally generated and change with each run.
The Rogue Prince of Persia is an action platform game enriched with clearly outlined roguelike elements. This is one of the spin-offs of the Prince of Persia series. The game was created by Evil Empire studio, a development team operating under the wings of Motion Twin, which took over the Dead Cells project in 2019 and provided a number of updates and DLC, including Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania.
The main character of The Rogue Prince of Persia is the titular prince, the son of King Peroz. After Ctesiphon, the capital of his kingdom, fell victim to an invasion by the Huns wielding shamanic magic, the protagonist must embark on a long and dangerous journey to confront the invaders. The prince will eventually transform from a reckless warrior into a fearless hero.
In The Rogue Prince of Persia we watch the action from the side. While traversing various locations, the prince jumps on platforms and avoids traps and terrain obstacles, as well as swings on bars, runs on walls and performs somersaults and other acrobatic movements.
In addition, the protagonist must face opponents such as creatures corrupted by magic and mythical beasts. The hero fights them, making use of melee and ranged weapons, constantly moving and avoiding enemy attacks. As we progress, we collect better equipment, as well as obtain decorations and various improvements, thanks to which we can gradually face greater challenges.
Both during exploration and during duels, it is necessary to use the protagonist's magical bola, which allows him to manipulate time and thus correct mistakes made or even avoid death. Since the individual levels are procedurally generated, each subsequent attempt to defeat the Huns looks different than the previous ones. Between the escapades we end up in an oasis that serves as our base of operations.
The Rogue Prince of Persia has two-dimensional graphics. The game is played to the accompaniment of music, for the recording of which traditional Iranian instruments were used.

May is indeed a crowded month! In addition to these most talked-about titles, there will be a new Prince of Persia, Homeworld 3, and Song of Conquest version 1.0. There will be plenty to play, so make sure to spend May with your family or friends as well.
The Prince of Persia brand made three announcements at this year's Ubisoft Forward. Among them was a new release date for the remake of The Sands of Time, which is unlikely to please fans.

Game Ratings for The Rogue Prince of Persia Video Game.
SavePoint Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Jake Su
After more than ten hours spent with The Rogue Prince of Persia, there is every bit of a good roguelite within. The freedom of movement is excellent, and it aids the way combat unfolds naturally, but everything else is not up to par. Whether the game reaches its full potential is anyone’s guess at this moment, and launching in its current state, even in Early Access, is a risk that doesn’t feel like it is worth it. The idea is that the team is able to build from here, and just like the genre it represents, the hope is that fans will give them the support and time needed to do just that.
GamingBolt: 8 / 10 by Ravi Sinha
The Rogue Prince of Persia combines a non-linear narrative and rogue-like structure with the excellent combat and movement that Evil Empire is known for. Though some rough edges remain, it's a great start to early access.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by Jordan Ramée
The Rogue Prince of Persia may still be in early access, but it's already a strong roguelike.
