The Rogue Prince of Persia leaves Early Access today

Almost exactly a year ago, Evil Empire and Ubisoft released The Rogue Prince of Persia in early access. Now at Gamescom, Ubisoft has announced that The Rogue Prince of Persia has now officially left Early Access, with Version 1.0 now rolling out to all players on PC. On top of that, the game is now available on consoles for the first time. 

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a 2D side-scrolling game where players take on the role of the titular Prince. The Prince has access to a number of parkour moves, such as wall jumping, wall running, swinging and jumping off poles, as well as access to both ranged and melee weapons. Initially, the game was planned to include a time-rewind mechanic just like in The Sands of Time, but this was later scrapped.

The Rogue Prince of Persia launch-day update adds two new biomes to the game, a new final boss fight and the final story act, so those who have been playing throughout the Early Access period will have lots of new content to explore. Those jumping in for the very first time get the complete experience. The full game is now available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

Moving forward, Evil Empire will continue updating The Rogue Prince of Persia to fix up bugs and other issues. However, there are no concrete plans for additional DLC yet. If the full release version takes off like other popular roguelites on the market, then extra DLC is certainly on the table.
