The Rogue Prince of Persia is coming to Switch and Switch 2 consoles on December 16. The game was in early access for around a year before being officially released for PC and consoles back in August.
This version has been “optimized for handheld and hybrid play” and includes all content from the original release. That means players will be able access a wide variety of biomes, weapons and secrets.
This is a unique take on the Prince of Persia franchise, bringing parkour-style movement and combat to the roguelike genre. It’s a fun and frenetic experience that calls to mind another sidescrolling roguelike, Dead Cells. This game was actually co-developed by Evil Empire, the company behind Dead Cells.
This is a digital release, but collectors have something to look forward to. The Rogue Prince of Persia is getting a deluxe physical release on April 10 for Switch, Switch 2 and PS5.
This physical version ships with a game key card, a double-sided poster and a set of cards depicting scenes from the game. When flipped, the cards join together to make up a portion of the title’s world map. Incidentally, there’s no physical version coming for Xbox Series X/S, despite already being available to download.
