The Rogue Prince of Persia Confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2: Release Set for 2024

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that The Rogue Prince of Persia, the highly anticipated action-platformer roguelite, will be released on both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 later this year.

The announcement solidifies rumors following the game's appearance in the Australian ratings database, bringing excitement to fans eager for a portable version of the title. Developed by Evil Empire, the studio renowned for its acclaimed work on post-launch content for Dead Cells, The Rogue Prince of Persia has garnered attention since its Early Access debut on PC in May 2024.

Evil Empire's expertise in fast-paced roguelite gameplay resonates throughout the game, translating Prince of Persia's signature acrobatics and wall-running mechanics into a modern, replayable action platforming experience. The Rogue Prince of Persia places players in the shoes of the titular Prince, awakening in an oasis on the outskirts of a besieged capital.

Using the Prince's legendary agility, players traverse procedurally generated levels, scaling walls, dodging traps, and fluidly chaining aerial maneuvers with aggressive combat.

Each run challenges players to outmaneuver formidable magical invaders, uncover new environments, and expand the narrative through non-linear storytelling. Evil Empire's creative director shared that the game's evolution is fueled by continuous community feedback.

As players return for 'just one more run,' they unlock new weapons, medallions, and difficulty modifiers designed to keep the gameplay both fresh and rewarding.

"Each foray into the city guarantees a new adventure, with levels and loot continuously refreshed to test every player’s mastery," said the development team in an official statement.

Players are also encouraged to experiment with a variety of deadly weapons and upgradeable medallions, adapting their strategies and movesets to overcome new challenges on every attempt. Frequent updates will bring additional story acts, enemies, bosses, and levels, ensuring longevity and a dynamic gaming experience.

This live approach aims to build a vibrant community around The Rogue Prince of Persia as it evolves on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC platforms.

Ubisoft's commitment to delivering quality content and supporting Evil Empire's creative vision enriches the Prince of Persia legacy for both classic fans and new players. The Rogue Prince of Persia's release on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 is scheduled for later in 2024, following its successful PC Early Access period.

As anticipation mounts, those interested can follow further news via Nintendo Direct updates and the official eShop listings.

For players seeking a challenging, modern twist on a beloved franchise, The Rogue Prince of Persia is set to be a standout title in the roguelite genre this year.
