Ubisoft’s rogue-lite The Rogue Prince of Persia is nearing its full release, now rated for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch in Australia. Here’s what we know about its console debut, new features, and early access journey.
Ubisoft and Evil Empire’s 2D rogue-lite, The Rogue Prince of Persia, is set to make a significant leap as it approaches its full launch. After debuting in May 2024 through Steam Early Access, the stylish side-scrolling action game has now been rated in Australia not only for PC but also for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, signaling a likely multi-platform release in the near future.
Although Ubisoft and Evil Empire have yet to officially confirm console ports, the Australian classification suggests that announcements for these platforms could be imminent, possibly aligning with the reveal of the game’s 1.0 release date. With the early access exit already confirmed for August 2025, it seems increasingly likely that the full version will launch simultaneously across all major platforms.
A Reinvention of a Classic
The Rogue Prince of Persia reinvents the legendary Ubisoft franchise in rogue-lite fashion. Developed by Evil Empire, best known for its work on Dead Cells, the game delivers fast-paced 2D platforming, brutal combat, and dynamic traversal systems inspired by Persian mythology and classic Prince of Persia gameplay.
Set in a vibrant and war-torn city under siege, players take on the role of the rebellious Prince, battling through procedurally generated biomes while harnessing a powerful arsenal and acrobatic abilities to outmaneuver deadly foes and environmental hazards.
Growth Through Early Access
Since launching in early access, The Rogue Prince of Persia has undergone rapid evolution. New biomes, fearsome bosses, and substantial revamps have been steadily introduced. One of the most significant changes came in the form of a brand-new art style, refining the game’s visuals with a more polished and cohesive aesthetic.
Recent updates also brought quality-of-life improvements, making the gameplay loop smoother and more rewarding. The final update before the Version 1.0 release went live recently, introducing The Arsenal, a system that allows players to ban certain weapons or items during a run to tailor their experience, as well as Story Objectives integrated into the Mind Map system to add narrative depth and progression clarity.
Console Ratings Hint at Cross-Platform Expansion
The Australian rating board listing for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch was first spotted by Gematsu on BlueSky, and it immediately sparked speculation. While a console launch has been widely expected due to the game’s critical acclaim and strong early access support, this marks the most solid evidence yet that a multi-platform rollout is planned.
Ubisoft and Evil Empire are expected to announce concrete release plans in the coming weeks, possibly during a summer gaming event or dedicated showcase. With the groundwork laid and momentum building, fans eager to dive into the rogue-lite revival of Prince of Persia on their preferred platform may not have to wait much longer.
Stay tuned for official confirmation and more details as The Rogue Prince of Persia prepares to leap out of early access and into its full adventure.
