Rogue Prince of Persia overhauls art style and doubles game size in its biggest update yet

The Rogue Prince of Persia has an updated early access build coming next week that'll overhaul its art style and shovel loads of new stuff into the roguelike platformer. Most notable for many people is that the team at Evil Empire has decided to change its art direction, swapping the color palette for one that means the prince is losing the distinctive purple tone that once characterized his skin.

"We've changed the colour palettes, had much more detail added and just generally "improved". You'll also notice that the Prince is no longer purple - this change was made as the purple tone just didn't fit with the new direction," said Evil Empire. "We find that the art direction is now a much better fit with the game's genre, setting/story and the Prince of Persia series as a whole."
