Hello everyone,
So if you didn't see our post on Friday, we're briefly delaying the launch of The Rogue Prince of Persia.
You can read that post with the full explanation here.
TLDR: Hades 2 stealth drop is taking up all the air in the indie gaming/roguelite/Early Access space!
You can imagine that last week was a bit of a manic one for us, but we said we'd be back today with the new release date and so here we go... we will be releasing on the 27th May.
Not too far away, but it will let people finish up playing Hades 2 and the other great games that came out last week (and the ones which are coming out this week ^^'), and we'll keep adding polish for our own release too.
If Silksong shadow drops in the next two weeks I'm burning the whole thing down!
Apologies again to anyone who was hyped to play it tomorrow, but we really believe this was the best choice for the long-term health of the game. We hope you understand and can be patient just a bit longer.
In the meantime, we have some juicy bits to keep you going until launch day - a full gameplay trailer featuring our theme song and (finally) the game's price! We think you'll like both :)
Next Community Update
So yeah, the music you just heard in the trailer was part of our theme song, made by the insanely talented Asadi, specialist of Persian trap music. He has created the entire soundtrack for the game, blending ancient tones with modern rhythms and, spoiler alert, it is absolutely banging..
We'll be going into his background and influences in our next community update on Friday 17th May, as well as the art direction...
What will the game cost?
We've been seeing quite a few questions about the price of the game, with guesses varying from 30$ to 60$ (60$, really?!).
Well, we can finally reveal that The Rogue Prince of Persia will cost... 19.99$/€!
There might even be a cheeky little launch discount too, if you needed any more reason to start playing on launch day.
Hope to see you all there, for now it's back to debug for us!
Cheers,
Matt and the Evil Empire team
