The Rogue Prince of Persia: Australian Rating Suggests Possible Nintendo Switch Release

The Rogue Prince of Persia, a much-anticipated action-platformer roguelite developed by Evil Empire and published by Ubisoft, has recently garnered increased attention in the gaming community following a new development linked to the Nintendo Switch hardware platform.

Although Evil Empire and Ubisoft have, to date, only confirmed the game’s launch on Steam for PC, new evidence has surfaced that hints at a possible Nintendo Switch release.

This speculation gained traction after an Australian government classification for The Rogue Prince of Persia appeared online, including ratings not just for PC, but for Nintendo Switch as well.

While an official announcement from the developers is still pending, this rating has signaled a growing possibility that the title will eventually make its way onto Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.

However, it is worth noting that such classifications do not always guarantee a platform release, but they do indicate plans are under consideration.

Notably, this situation unfolds as fans of the franchise continue to await further clarification regarding the potential release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake for the Nintendo Switch. Developed by Evil Empire—a studio praised for its successful post-launch work on acclaimed roguelite titles—The Rogue Prince of Persia revitalizes iconic mechanics from the Prince of Persia series, fusing wall-running and dynamic acrobatic combat with fast-paced roguelite gameplay.

Players step into the shoes of the Prince himself, mastering seamless transitions between platforming and combat, using wall jumps, kicks, and dodges to outmaneuver formidable foes.

Each "run" through the game is unique, thanks to procedurally generated levels, a diverse arsenal of unlockable weapons, and an ever-expanding roster of medallions and modifiers. The narrative sets the Prince against magical invaders threatening his homeland.

After each defeat, players respawn at an Oasis hub, empowered to tackle new routes, uncover fresh secrets, and face shifting challenges, all underpinned by non-linear storytelling.

The focus on replayability and evolving gameplay has positioned The Rogue Prince of Persia as an exciting entry in both the rogue-lite and action-platformer genres. A representative for Evil Empire commented that the team is closely monitoring feedback and looking forward to expanding the reach of The Rogue Prince of Persia, but no formal details regarding a Nintendo Switch launch have been provided at this time. As anticipation builds towards the Steam release, and with classifications hinting at a Switch version, industry observers and fans alike are eagerly awaiting further updates.

The title stands as a testament to Evil Empire and Ubisoft’s ongoing commitment to delivering energetic, engaging new experiences to both the PC and potentially the Nintendo Switch eShop in the near future. Stay tuned for official announcements regarding The Rogue Prince of Persia’s Nintendo Switch availability and other exciting news from the world of Nintendo.
