The acclaimed roguelike adventure The Rogue Prince of Persia appears poised for a multi-platform expansion, with recent Australian ratings suggesting imminent releases for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. Currently available in early access exclusively on PC since May 2024, this action-platformer from French developer Evil Empire has already captivated Steam players with its fluid combat system and challenging roguelike progression.

Set against the backdrop of ancient Ctesiphon, players assume the role of a royal protector defending the city from invading Hun forces. While drawing inspiration from the classic Prince of Persia franchise, the game establishes its own distinct identity with completely original storytelling and gameplay innovations. The developers strategically delayed their early access launch to avoid direct competition with Hades 2, demonstrating their commitment to giving the title proper space to shine.

Industry observers spotted the potential console releases through an updated rating from the Australian Classification Board on June 27. While official confirmation from Ubisoft remains pending for other regions, this development suggests the game's full 1.0 launch in August will coincide with its expansion to additional platforms. This move could significantly broaden the audience for what many consider one of 2024's most underappreciated gaming gems.

The upcoming 1.0 version promises substantial content additions including story completion, new biomes, additional weapons, fresh enemy types, and a formidable final boss encounter. Players can expect the same responsive development approach that delivered November 2024's major update, which introduced visual enhancements, narrative expansions, and numerous quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback.
