The Rogue Prince of Persia is heading to consoles

There is still no release date in sight for the long-awaited Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake. However, other teams at Ubisoft have been doing fantastic work with the IP in the meantime. Since launching into Early Access last year, The Rogue Prince of Persia has been exclusive to PC, but is going to change very soon.

As spotted by Gematsu, The Rogue Prince of Persia has been rated for consoles for the first time. The Australian ratings board has finished their review of the game, revealing plans for a release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and Nintendo Switch consoles.

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 has been in Early Access since May 2024 and is due to leave Early Access and hit V1.0 in August. Console versions of the game have not yet been officially announced but that should change quite soon. Typically, games are announced within months of being submitted to ratings boards and recently, rumours have suggested that a Nintendo Direct is coming this month – The Rogue Prince of Persia could very well end up being one of the highlighted games during that showcase.

KitGuru Says: I've been picking this game up every now and then on the Steam Deck. It has improved a lot since the initial reveal, particularly where graphics and art are concerned. The V1.0 build of the game will include the third and final act, so there is plenty of reason to jump back in even if you played previously.
