I was a little surprised to learn that Ubisoft is publishing a second 2D Prince of Persia game so soon after The Lost Crown, meaning both were in development simultaneously. This one is a bit different though: It's not developed by a Ubisoft studio, and it's releasing on Steam in early access this May, which is notable because Ubisoft has been doing timed Epic Games Store exclusives for the past several years.
The Rogue Prince of Persia was announced at today's Triple-I Initiative showcase, although its existence was leaked earlier. It's being developed by Evil Empire, the studio founded to make DLC for popular roguelite Dead Cells while Motion Twin moved on to a new project, and sees the Prince reacting to a Hun invasion with his usual melee combat and platforming. As the "rogue" bit of the title hints, though, something new happens when the Prince inevitably finds himself at the bottom of a spike trap.
