Fearing (probably rightly) of being crushed by the titanic shadow of Hades 2, the next Prince of Persia game scheduled for early access on May 14 is going through the postponement box.
In any case, this is what Evil Empire, the studio behind the promising The Rogue Prince of Persia, announced. Unfortunately for them, the world is too small for two early access rogue-lites to be released at such a close time interval.
The Rogue Prince of Persia takes time against Hades 2
On May 6, Supergiant Games created a surprise by releasing Hades 2 in early access without warning. The divine rogue-lite was easily one of the most anticipated indie games of the year. Faced with such a titanic competitor, Evil Empire did not feel up to the challenge with The Rogue Prince of Persia, another rogue-lite also expected in early access on May 14. The studio therefore wanted to make a brave choice and postpone this release until later in May.
He therefore gives us an appointment on Tuesday, May 14 to specify its exact deployment date in early access. This will also give him a little more time to refine an experience that we found in any case promising and pleasant. Either way, fans of the rogue-lite genre are in for a treat. Evil Empire in any case assures in its message that The Rogue Prince of Persia will thus be more dense than expected. As titanic as Hades 2, which already presents more content than the first Hades in version 1.0? The Sands of Time will tell us.
