The Rogue Prince of Persia delayed to avoid popularity of Hades 2
UPDATE 13/05/24: The Rogue Prince of Persia now has a confirmed release date following a short delay due to the release of Hades 2.
The roguelite platformer will now release on 27th May, as shared by developer Evil Empire in a social media post.
Further, it will cost 19.99$/€, with a launch discount hinted at.
Still, there’s a very small chance it could slip further if a certain other game is suddenly released: “But if Silksong shadow-drops in the next two weeks we’re burning the whole thing down!”

ORIGINAL STORY 10/05/24: The forthcoming The Rogue Prince of Persia has been delayed by developer Evil Empire to allow players more time with Hades 2.
The roguelite game was originally set for early access release next week on 14th May, but has now been delayed to later in the month, with a precise date coming on Monday.
Why? Hades 2 entered early access at the start of the week and Evil Empire doesn’t want to compete.
“Seeing as everyone and their mum is playing that game (including our entire team… and their mums), we have decided to let people have their fun with it before we release The Rogue Prince of Persia,” said Evil Empire in a statement.
