New roguelike Prince of Persia game moved its release date to steer clear of Hades 2, Dead Cells developer Evil Empire revealed in an honest and open statement
In a week (month? year?) when lots of people are feeling pretty sour over the way some game companies choose to explain their decisions to their audience, here’s a rarity — a game delay statement that shows such humility, honesty, and passion for the medium that it’s gone over extremely well.
The statement comes from Evil Empire, the Dead Cells developer now making a roguelike Prince of Persia game for Ubisoft — and the reason for the delay, as Evil Empire humbly admits, is this week’s surprise early access release of Hades 2, the hotly anticipated sequel to a roguelike classic.
Rogue Prince of Persia had been set for release next week, on May 14 (also in early access, on PC). Evil Empire says the game will still be released in May, and it will announce a new release date on Monday, May 13.
