Ubisoft and Evil Empire have announced that The Rogue Prince of Persia, a 2D action-platforming rogue-lite game, is available worldwide in Early Access on Steam. The game will have a 10% discount during the first 24 hours and is also available to play on GeForce Now.

Players can expect 6 biomes, 8 main weapons, 6 powerful tools, 2 boss encounters, and 30 trinkets during the start of early access. Leading up to its 1.0 launch, more content, such as new levels, bosses, weapons, enemies, and upgrades, as well as additions based on community feedback, will be added.

Here’s an overview of the game:

In The Rogue Prince of Persia, players will be transported to a mythical version of Ctesiphon, once the thriving heart of the Persian Empire. The Prince must act as this grand city stands on the brink of annihilation since its invasion by the ruthless hordes of the Huns, commanded by the wicked chief Nogai.

Journeying through vibrant biomes, the Prince must deploy his full range of acrobatic talents to navigate safely across the procedurally generated levels, acquire and refine an arsenal of weapons, equip new trinkets, unlock new equipment at the Oasis, and gather allies to stand a chance in saving the city. To master the game’s platforming challenges, players will get to use the signature wall run, for seamless traversal over gaps, avoiding traps and outmaneuvering enemies. But the environment will not be the only peril players will have to face, as they will engage in combat with a variety of foes: the Huns, armed with dark shamanic magic, and the beasts tainted by this nefarious power.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is available worldwide in Early Access on Steam.
