The Rogue Prince of Persia is an upcoming roguelike platform game developed by Evil Empire and published by Ubisoft.
The Prince has a mysterious artifact that allows him to time travel, enabling him to avoid permanent death and return to a hub area named "The Oasis" where he can restock potions and upgrade his skills and weapons.
The Rogue Prince of Persia was developed by Evil Empire, the co-developer of Dead Cells's downloadable content packs.
The studio pitched the project to license owner Ubisoft during the alpha stage of the development of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
The team briefly experimented with a mechanic that allowed players to briefly unwind time to undo smaller mistakes in combat or transversal, similar to the Sands of Time trilogy, though this feature was scrapped because the team felt that it broke the rhythm of combat.
