Ubisoft has officially released The Rogue Prince of Persia for both Nintendo Switch 2 and the current Nintendo Switch, marking a notable expansion of the beloved franchise on Nintendo’s flagship platforms.
The game's launch arrives with a visually striking trailer, highlighting its stylish 2D action and roguelite design—elements that appeal to long-time platformer enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Developed in collaboration with Evil Empire, The Rogue Prince of Persia builds upon Ubisoft's storied history with the Prince of Persia franchise.
The game offers a fresh take on the series, emphasizing fluid parkour mechanics and intense, responsive combat set against a dynamic musical backdrop.
Each gameplay session challenges players to master precise movements, dodging hazards and chaining acrobatic attacks as they explore a lavishly detailed, procedurally generated world. "Every attempt is a new opportunity," a Ubisoft spokesperson stated during the launch announcement, "allowing players to explore diverse paths, discover hidden secrets, encounter unique characters, and learn from their experiences to ultimately alter the fate of the legendary Persian kingdom." Key features of The Rogue Prince of Persia include a robust arsenal of over 100 unique weapons and medallions.
Players can unlock, upgrade, and customize their builds during each run, experimenting with combinations that best suit their individual playstyles.
No two playthroughs are alike, thanks to randomized levels, adaptive difficulty modifiers, and evolving in-game narratives that keep the adventure fresh and highly replayable. As fans take on the role of a Prince cursed yet spared from death, their agility becomes the ultimate weapon.
Wall-running, trap-dodging, and chaining together intricate combat moves are pivotal to survival—a hallmark that sets this entry apart from its predecessors. The Rogue Prince of Persia is available to purchase digitally on the Nintendo Switch eShop as of today.
Players eager for a physical edition can expect its release on April 10, 2026.
Ubisoft’s ongoing partnership with Evil Empire continues to deliver high-quality content to the Nintendo ecosystem, reinforcing both companies’ presence in the action-platforming genre. For more information, watch the official launch trailer and stay tuned for future Nintendo Directs and updates on all things Nintendo Switch 2.
