After more than a year of early access, over 15 major updates integrating community feedback, an entirely reworked art direction and changed color palette, a variety of new biomes, weapons and trinkets as well as an enriched metaprogression, the game has reached its final form for all players to enjoy. Set in a beautifully reimagined Persian kingdom, The Rogue Prince of Persia blends fluid, acrobatic combat with challenging parkour and a rich narrative of redemption. Players must navigate procedurally generated levels, uncover secrets, and meet new characters as they attempt to right a fatal mistake that doomed their people. Each run offers new opportunities to adapt and evolve, forging a unique playstyle through exploration and discovery. With over 100 weapons and medallions to unlock and master, players can customize their build according to their playstyle and needs. Agility is key: wall-running, dodging traps, and chaining stylish combos are essential to survival. To get to the true outcome of this epic story, players will have to rewrite fate, save Persia, or die trying.

“We’re incredibly grateful to the Steam community for embracing The Rogue Prince of Persia during its early access journey,” said Lucie Dewagnier, Game Director at Evil Empire. “Thanks to their feedback, we’ve delivered over fifteen major updates—introducing new biomes, weapons, enemies, and gameplay systems. Their passion helped us shape the game into the fast, fluid, and replayable experience we always envisioned. We can’t wait for more people to discover our game in its final form and inevitably bob their head to the banger soundtrack.”
