Evil Empire, the studio responsible for the previous five or so years of updates to Motion Twin’s roguelite metroidvania game Dead Cells, are set to release a new roguelite set in the Prince of Persia universe “later this year.”
That’s according to Insider Gaming, who were told by sources that ‘The Rogue Prince of Persia’, as the game is rumoured to be named, will first release in Steam early access. It’s reckoned to have been in development for the last four years or so, and supposedly came about after a talk between Evil Empire and Ubisoft at GDC 2019.

Oh man, I am beyond excited to hear that Evil Empire is working on a new Prince of Persia roguelike game! Dead Cells was such a blast to play, so I have high hopes for this new project. The combination of the Prince of Persia universe with the roguelike genre sounds like a match made in heaven. I can’t wait to see how they incorporate the iconic platforming and combat mechanics of the series into a procedurally generated world. And the fact that it’s supposed to be out this year? Count me in! Time to start practicing my wall runs and sword fighting skills in preparation for this epic adventure.
