Evil Empire and Ubisoft have slightly delayed the release date of the new title in the Prince of Persia IP in Early Access, and the developers have kept their word, as they have indeed announced a new date on May 13.

The Rogue Prince of Persia was originally supposed to be released on May 14th on Steam in Early Access, but it was pushed back a bit as Evil Empire admitted that a game of the same genre that was also unexpectedly released in Early Access would have taken away their player base, and they didn’t want Hades II to be a topic of discussion for everyone, so they pushed the release of the Prince back a bit.

Experience fast-paced, challenging, yet accessible roguelite as you master acrobatic moves and flow seamlessly between platforming and combat. Find new weapons, add special effects to trinkets, and upgrade them to create your own builds. Discover new characters, information, and areas as you try to find a way to save Persia from a Hun invasion and become the hero you always wanted to be. Lead the Prince in his battle against a Hun army corrupted by dark shamanic magic and find your place in the royal family as you explore a vibrant reimagining of Persia. Piece together the puzzle and discover new areas as you rejoin the battle and meet a cast of colorful characters through non-linear story progression.

Move seamlessly between platforming and combat, using your acrobatic moves to outmaneuver and outsmart your enemies. Use the iconic wall-run to open up new attack routes, avoid traps and explore hard-to-reach areas. Kick and dodge to take on groups of enemies when the odds are against you. Choose from a variety of deadly weapons and equip new medallions each run to unleash devastating effects, giving you the freedom to change your fighting style at will. Secondary weapons offer even more options, from bows to shields to grappling hooks. Change your loadout on the fly to adapt to new challenges. Unlock new weapons and medallions, and learn from your mistakes to become more powerful with each death. New challenges await you every time, as each level is procedurally generated, so no two runs are ever the same.

The Rogue Prince of Persia will be available in Early Access on Steam on May 27th.
