The wait is over – it’s time to jump into action! After 15 months of early access, The Rogue Prince of Persia 1.0 launch marks the official release across Steam, consoles, and Game Pass.
Players can now experience the full adventure, complete with stunning new biomes, a climactic final boss battle, and a fully realized story arc. This is your chance to explore, fight, and uncover the secrets of Persia like never before.
Launch Details
The game, developed in partnership with Ubisoft, was in early access from May 2024 until August 2025, giving players a chance to explore and shape the game before its full release. Now, with the official Game Pass release and version 1.0 launch, the developers confirm that the complete game is ready. It is also available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, making it easy for fans across platforms to join the adventure
.
The final update brings exciting new content to the game. Players can now explore two fresh biomes: the Port of Ctesiphon and the Besieged Palace, each offering unique challenges and environments. The update also includes a dramatic final boss fight and the full conclusion to the story mode, giving fans a complete and satisfying experience. Alongside these additions, the developers have improved polish and stability, making gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.
Gameplay and Style
The Rogue Prince of Persia is a fast-paced roguelike platformer which combines smooth, acrobatic combat with evolving gameplay that feels almost like a dance. The Dead Cells would be an apt comparison, as it highlights the game’s challenging level design and dynamic progression. With vibrant visuals reminiscent of the art style of Hades, the world of Persia comes alive in a striking way. As an Evil Empire roguelite, it reflects the studio’s experience – especially from their work on Dead Cells DLC – and points toward exciting future projects in the genre.
Additional Notes
Evil Empire has announced that the game is now “feature complete,” meaning all planned content is finished. The team will continue to release patches to fix bugs and improve performance. However, they haven’t ruled out adding more content in the future if the game becomes more popular and the community grows.
Community and Performance
Right now, the game has a modest player base, with a peak of around 428 concurrent players on Steam alone. The overall number could rise with the full release and its availability on Game Pass, which gives more players easy access. The developers hope that more exposure will bring new fans and help build a stronger community.
Conclusion
Now that the game has reached its full release, it stands as a stylish and complete roguelike entry into the Prince of Persia series. With polished visuals, fast-paced gameplay, and a rich story now on full display, it’s the perfect time to jump back in or try it for the first time. The game’s future depends on its success – if enough players join the adventure, Evil Empire may bring even more content to expand this thrilling world.
