The Rogue Prince of Persia Sets Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Release for 2024

Ubisoft has officially announced that its critically acclaimed platformer, The Rogue Prince of Persia, will arrive on the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 later this year.

This follows the surprise shadow drop of the title on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, much to the excitement of fans eager to experience the next evolution in the storied Prince of Persia franchise.

Originally developed by Ubisoft in partnership with Evil Empire, The Rogue Prince of Persia was first launched on May 14, 2024, for Windows PC platforms through Steam Early Access, quickly earning praise for its innovative roguelite mechanics and fresh take on the classic series.

The game’s debut on consoles marks a significant milestone as it continues to attract both long-time fans and a new generation of players.

In a recent statement, a Ubisoft spokesperson emphasized the studio’s commitment to delivering the highest quality version possible for Nintendo hardware.

The company indicated that by taking additional development time, it aims to ensure a seamless gameplay experience for both current Nintendo Switch users and those preparing for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 hardware launch.

This careful attention to platform optimization underscores Ubisoft’s dedication to the Nintendo community and the broader audience of the Prince of Persia series.

"We’re excited to bring The Rogue Prince of Persia to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 later this year.

Our teams are focused on optimizing the game for these platforms so that players can enjoy the iconic Prince of Persia experience on their preferred Nintendo devices," stated an official Ubisoft representative. The Rogue Prince of Persia joins a lineup of celebrated Ubisoft titles that have successfully launched on the Nintendo eShop over previous years.

The announcement coincides with the publisher’s ongoing efforts to expand its presence on Nintendo platforms, further cemented by successful sales of franchises like Assassin's Creed and Just Dance on the Switch.

The exact release date for The Rogue Prince of Persia on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 has not yet been announced, but Ubisoft has assured fans that further details, including a platform-specific trailer and feature highlights, will be revealed in upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations. With The Rogue Prince of Persia, Ubisoft continues its legacy of innovation and genre leadership, blending time-honored platforming action with modern roguelite elements.

As anticipation builds for its arrival on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, fans can expect a meticulously crafted experience tailored for portable play, tightly woven into the fabric of Nintendo’s ever-growing game library.
