In an unusual team up, Ubisoft and Dead Cells studio Evil Empire have announced a partnership to develop a new action Roguelike titled The Rogue Prince of Persia. Out next month on Steam.
The Prince of Persia franchise hasn’t had a mainline entry in quite a few years, and Ubisoft’s latest remake effort is currently going through a renewed remaking effort. However, the series seems to have found its home in spin-offs. Ubisoft announced The Rogue Prince of Persia at the Triple-i Initiative showcase today, a game being developed by Evil Empire and launching this month. Watch the reveal trailer above, which has a gameplay reveal at the tail end of it.
Roguelike-Metroidvania fans should already know Evil Empire, which was formed to take over the hugely popular indie title Dead Cells’ development. Now, the tried-and-tested formula is being applied to Prince of Persia, but with a lot more wall running.
