I didn't see The Rogue Prince of Persia coming. And while I can't speak for anyone but myself with any degree of certainty, I'm not sure many others did either.
Developed by Dead Cells co-creator Evil Empire in partnership with Ubisoft, The Rogue Prince of Persia is a super-stylized roguelike slant on the 35-year-old series whose focus is tight combat, tight platforming and tight traversal mechanics. Having now played an in-development preview build for around 45 minutes, I reckon anyone fond of roguelikes, Dead Cells, and indeed old school Prince of Persia will be at home here. I'm still unsure of why this is a Prince of Persia game, but we'll explore that further down the page.
