Evil Empire, the studio behind the popular Dead Cells game, has been keeping busy with a new project that has recently been leaked by industry insider Tom Henderson. According to Henderson, the studio has been secretly working on a new Prince of Persia game for the past 4 years.
This news comes as a surprise to many fans, as Evil Empire had been primarily focused on developing post-launch content for Dead Cells in recent years. However, it seems that the studio is now branching out and working on a new roguelite game based on the beloved Prince of Persia franchise.
In addition to this exciting announcement, Ubisoft, the French publisher behind the Prince of Persia series, is planning to release an Early Access version of the game later this year. This move is seen as a strategic decision by Ubisoft to allow Evil Empire to continually update the game based on player feedback, similar to how Dead Cells was handled.
While details about the new Prince of Persia game are still scarce, one thing that has been revealed is that the game’s art direction will be heavily influenced by French-Belgian comics. This unique visual style is expected to set the game apart from previous titles in the series, such as Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remastered.
Fans of both the Prince of Persia franchise and Dead Cells have expressed excitement over this unexpected collaboration between Evil Empire and Ubisoft. With the promise of a constantly evolving game and a fresh new art style, it looks like the future of the Prince of Persia series is in good hands. Stay tuned for more updates on this upcoming roguelite adventure!
