The Rogue Prince of Persia delayed cause of Hades 2

And Ubisoft and Evil Empire are being very honest about it.

The Rogue Prince of Persia has been delayed because of Hades 2, Evil Empire and Ubisoft have recently announced.

“While we have every confidence in The Rogue Prince of Persia, it’s not every day that a game in the same genre as you, and is one of the most anticipated upcoming games of 2024, will release into Early Access a week before you plan to do the same,” reads a statement from Evil Empire, of course referring to Hades 2, which has recently left testing for fully-fledged (kinda) early access.

“We are not prideful enough to ignore the implications of it, and we truly believe that this short delay is the best decision for us and our Early Access journey. This also lets us keep polishing up the game, add even more cool things, and kick some stubborn bugs out before release,” the statement continued.

“The Day One patch was getting pretty hefty, so gaining more time to test it and add more stuff before launch day has considerably lowered the stress levels of our producer and game director already.”

As a result, The Rogue Prince of Persia heads to Windows PC via early access later in May; we’ll update this post with the specific date when it is known. We previewed the title here.
