Just a month after its announcement, Ubisoft has decided to delay the release of The Rogue Prince of Persia, a game developed by Evil Empire based on the legendary saga. The title, which was scheduled to start its early access this Tuesday, May 14, will wait a few days to see the light, inviting its followers to the next Monday to know its new release date.
The Reason for Delay of The Rogue Prince of Persia
The reason for the delay is not directly related to the game itself, but rather based on the recent and unexpected release of Hades 2 in early access, which at the time of writing this news is the best-selling title on Steam. “Seeing that everyone and their mothers are playing that game (including our entire team… and their mothers), we have decided to let people have fun before launching The Rogue Prince of Persia.”

In this way, although the developer has “full confidence” in its title, but “not every day a game of the same genre as yours, which is one of the most anticipated upcoming games of 2024, is released in early access a week earlier than planned” has prompted the decision. Thus, the game will be polished more in its day one patch, while “considerably reducing the stress levels of our producer and game director.”
One of the Most Anticipated Games
The new Prince of Persia is defined as one of the most interesting games of the year through a frenetic, devilish, and accessible roguelite experience, as acrobatic techniques are mastered and you seamlessly switch between combat and platforming.
The player must find weapons, use talismans with special effects, and upgrade them to configure their character as they wish while trying to find a way to save Persia from the invasion of the Huns. For now, the title only arrives on PC.
