The Rogue Prince of Persia needs alpha testers

The recent announcement of The Rogue Prince of Persia was a nice surprise for the fans of the iconic series for several reasons. The game retakes the classic platforming gameplay from the classics with new mechanics and a focus on action, much like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown did not too long ago. Also, the studio in charge of developing the game is no other than Evil Empire, which has earned recognition from a huge player base due to its work on several DLCs for Dead Cells. It's worth noticing that it was Evil Empire who approached Ubisoft with its own idea to make a new Prince of Persia platformer.

The Rogue Prince of Persia's unique visual style accompanied by new platforming and roguelike mechanics have caught the eye of many fans of the Prince of Persia series already. The game is still in development and we will have to wait for a while before we can play it. However, it may be possible for you to try it ahead of release.

Looking for help

Soon after the announcement of The Rogue Prince of Persia, Evil Empire revealed that it needed help to polish the game.

"Choose from a variety of deadly weapons and equip new medallions each run to unleash devastating effects, giving you the freedom to change your fighting style as you wish.
