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

The Rogue Prince of Persia, the acclaimed action platformer developed by Ubisoft, is officially set to launch for both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo has confirmed that players will be able to experience the challenging roguelite adventure on December 16, with digital access available through the Nintendo eShop on both systems. The game, which draws on the rich legacy of the Prince of Persia franchise, has already established a strong reputation during its initial release on Steam.

Since debuting on the popular PC platform, The Rogue Prince of Persia has amassed 'very positive' user reviews, highlighting its satisfying combat mechanics, clever level design, and rewarding progression system.

Ubisoft's approach of blending traditional Prince of Persia platforming with modern roguelike elements has been particularly well received among critics and longtime fans alike. In a statement regarding the upcoming Nintendo Switch release, Ubisoft representatives emphasized the team’s commitment to delivering a polished and content-rich experience on all available hardware.

The company noted that careful attention has been paid to ensure smooth performance and responsive controls for Nintendo Switch players, aligning with the high standards set by the game’s PC version.

According to Ubisoft, "We are excited for Nintendo fans to dive into the fast-paced action and discover for themselves what makes The Rogue Prince of Persia such a standout entry in the series." With its December 16 release date, The Rogue Prince of Persia joins an increasingly robust catalog of third-party titles on Nintendo hardware.

The game will support the full suite of features available on both Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms, including portability, quick resume, and digital purchases through the Nintendo eShop.

The timing of this launch positions the title as a compelling choice for holiday shoppers seeking critically acclaimed games for their new or existing Nintendo systems. Since its initial launch on Steam, The Rogue Prince of Persia has regularly featured among the platform’s top-rated indie and action games, due in part to its innovative take on the roguelite formula.

Ubisoft’s ongoing commitment to updates and community-driven improvements has further enhanced the title’s reputation, setting the stage for a strong debut on Nintendo’s consoles.

With a trailer now available and launch plans firmly in place, anticipation is high for one of this year’s most talked-about indie releases to make its mark on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
