The Rogue Prince of Persia is an action roguelike from one of the teams behind Dead Cells, and it's coming out very soon.

In January, The Lost Crown rekindled this series’ fire after a long hiatus. Now, The Rogue Prince of Persia is continuing to fan those flames. It’s a somewhat out-of-character release for Ubisoft, as it’s a 2D platformer action-roguelike developed by an indie studio outside of the company, and it will initially release into early access. Though it’s an atypical release, it’s one to get excited about.

Time for another run In The Rogue Prince of Persia, players fight back against a Hun invasion. Every time the Prince dies, though, a magical bola revives him and sends him back in time to an Oasis where he can craft new weapons before setting out again to keep the fight going. This provides a strong backbone for the roguelike adventure, which will be instantly recognizable to fans of Dead Cells.

Enhancing that core weapon and combat loop are movement options that feel unique to The Rogue Prince of Persia. There’s a satisfying dodge, but it’s also possible to kick enemies into traps, each other, or off ledges. I could stomp down on them from above, too, and make a quick getaway by running on walls, including ones that look like they are in the background.
