The Rogue Prince of Persia is revolutionizing the classic platforming experience with its modern reboot, initially launched by Broderbund in 1989. Currently in early access, this exciting game is set to unveil a significant update next week, bringing a host of new features and enhancements. Developer Evil Empire has shared a detailed blog post that showcases all the new content coming with the update, along with a captivating teaser trailer that highlights some thrilling gameplay footage.
According to the Steam page, this update will effectively double the game’s content since its initial launch. Dubbed “The Second Act,” it will introduce a new narrative chapter, significantly enhance the storytelling elements of Act 1, and feature an array of new biomes, challenging bosses, and diverse enemies. Additionally, players can look forward to improved Quality of Life features, including multiple save slots and localization options for German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish audiences. Notably, the appearance of the game’s protagonist will undergo a major transformation, signaling a fresh start for the beloved character — farewell to the Prince of Purple.
Mark your calendars for November 21, as that’s when the new update for The Rogue Prince of Persia will be released. This game has already impressed players with its sleek mechanics and innovative design, even in its early stages. The upcoming update promises to be the most comprehensive one yet, further refining the gameplay experience. It combines classic platforming elements with cutting-edge visuals and an engaging “roguelite” gameplay loop, reminiscent of popular indie titles such as Hades. This blend of retro charm and modern design is sure to captivate both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
