Precisely one month prior, Ubisoft and Evil Empire shared the news that The Rogue Prince of Persia was slated for an Early Access debut on May 15th. Circumstances have shifted, yet not solely due to the developers requiring extra time to refine the gameplay.
Evil Empire has now disclosed that The Rogue Prince of Persia's arrival has been postponed to a later date this month, promising that a precise launch day will be revealed next Monday. The cause, we learn, is that the gaming community at large, inclusive of the Ubisoft team working on the 2024 sequel to Prince of Persia, is deeply engaged with Hades II, prompting a desire to avoid being overshadowed by the enthralling success of Supergiant Games' recent Early Access release.
Naturally, they will take this opportunity to enhance and enrich the game with additional material. This is a tactful decision, given that Hades II has earned acclaim for its already-polished and complete-feeling gaming experience.
Do you believe these extra efforts will enable The Rogue Prince of Persia to garner attention despite the presence of Hades II's allure?
