The Rogue Prince of Persia comes to Nintendo Switch next month

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a highly slick and satisfying 2D side-scrolling rogue-like metroidvania from Evil Empire – the current team working on the equally-as-excellent Dead Cells. Initially arriving in Early Access back in 2024, the game saw its full 1.0 release last August alongside a console launch for both Xbox and PlayStation. Though slightly later than the rest, The Rogue Prince of Persia has now been announced to be coming to the Switch family of devices next month.

Making the surprise announcement, Ubisoft officially confirmed that the excellent Rogue Prince of Persia is coming to the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 before the tail-end of the year – launching on the 15th of December.

Pre-orders for the game have yet to go live and so no official pricing has been announced. That said, assuming it costs the same as it does on other platforms, expect the Switch version to launch at around £25.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is one of the most satisfying rogue-likes in a while, with its seamless parkour mechanics tying into the game’s excellent soundtrack alongside a strong sense of momentum to make for an overall fun experience which is certainly worth trying.
