Shortly after announcedThe Rogue Prince of Persia, developer Evil Empire has put out a call for alpha testers to try the game before its early access launch.
A new roguelike entry in Ubisoft’sPrince of Persiaseries,The Rogue Prince of Persiawasformally announced at the Triple-I Initiativeon April 10, giving fans a first look at its fast and fluid 2D platforming and combat. Although the game is scheduled to launch in early access on May 14 (which is less than a month away), Evil Empire is allowing players to register for a pre-alpha build before then.
Although withThe Rogue Prince of Persialaunching in early access, that’s something you’ll be able to do anyway. As Evil Empire says inthis Steam news post, it’s going with an early access launch because “we want to work with the player community to create the best version of this game that we can. We believe we have created a great core of aPrince of Persiagame, and we have our plans to expand it out of course, but we know how directly involving the players can make a game so much better. Especially for a roguelite with narrative elements.”
As such, you can expect regular updates throughout the early access period. There’s currently no telling how long that’ll be, but Evil Empire has already talked about adding new biomes, weapons, boss fights, and story elements. Between this andThe Lost Crown, which is slated to receive content updates throughout 2024,Prince of Persiafans are eating well this year, although many are still waiting for an update on the long-absentSands of Timeremake.
