Lords of the Fallen developer Hexworks has revealed the final free content drop in its post-launch roadmap will take the form of a roguelite modifier system, and it's available on PS5 today. When beginning a fresh playthrough or jumping into New Game+, you'll now have the chance to change the way the game plays and operates across seven modifiers.
Rumour: Prince of Persia Roguelite in Development at Dead Cells Studio | Push Square
05.04.2024 - 09:17 / pushsquare.com
Despite Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown releasing just a few months ago, there's apparently another spinoff Prince of Persia title currently in development, and it's heading to early access through Steam later this year. According to Insider Gaming, this next game is a roguelite adventure, suitably titled 'The Rogue Prince of Persia' — which we think is a rather clever name.
Perhaps the most intriguing part of this report, though, is that the game is supposedly being crafted by Evil Empire — the studio that took over the development of Dead Cells post-release. Apparently, this Prince of Persia project has been in the oven for around four years — presumably while the developer was busy providing so many updates for Dead Cells.
In any case, if all of this is accurate, then it shouldn't be long until we hear about The Rogue Prince of Persia in an official capacity.
What do you make of this rumour? Go back to the beginning in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
If it’s as good as the Lost Crown, I’m all for it.
I do find it funny how a certain subsection of gamers were moaning about that Prince of Persia when it was revealed and now it’s pretty much universally praised as a great game.
Dead Cells, along with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Sifu, falls into that rare basket of games I absolutely love, but am absolutely not nearly good enough to beat lol Stoked to see what they do next!
@nessisonett X-men 1997 had the same.
@nessisonett Yeah its terrible is someone does not 100% like what you like. In the end the biggest complaint was the terrible music choice of the trailer a thing i still completely agree with to this day.

Would've guessed they're working on a Castlevania. But, hey if this works out see how they go with Rayman, maybe? Please??
Thank you gaming gods I love The Lost Crown so much I couldn’t put the controller down until I beat it I logged in over 80 hours in that game I need more Perisa
@Flaming_Kaiser there were plenty of racist posts, so let's not pretend it was a non-issue
@pirlega
From the glazed wall reliefs in the ancient city of Susa. The Persian Empire was vast and soldiers encompassed varying skin tones.

Ah, it seems I'm gonna be the black sheep up in here: )
Just like 10 years ago every game had to have a mobile version, now every game has to have a roguelike/lite one...
Instead of Ubisoft making a proper AAA game

Sand Land Review (PS5) | Push Square
Originally published all the way back in 2000 as a standalone manga, it's strange, but not unwelcome, to see Sand Land be revived as both an anime series and a video game almost a quarter of a century later. Authored by the late and legendary Akira Toriyama, Sand Land is an incredibly charming story about a post-apocalyptic world, where a cocky demon prince is roped into helping out what's left of humanity.

Naoki Yoshida Says Final Fantasy 14 Update Will Fix Dawntrail's Dead, 'Lifeless Eyes' | Push Square
Last week, Square Enix unveiled the official PC benchmark and accompanying trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV expansion, Dawntrail. The trailer gave fans glimpses of new in-game areas, enemies, and combat upgrades. While that all went over rather well, the game's decade-old character creation engine is drawing ire this time and the eyes of character models, in particular.

Tails of Iron 2 Adds Monster Hunting, Undead Bats in Scaled Up Sequel | Push Square
The original Tails of Iron was quietly a big success for developer Odd Bug Studio. The action RPG about a kingdom of rats has drawn in a lot of fans thanks to its sketch-like art style, deliberate combat, and explorable world. We suppose the fact it's narrated by Doug Cockle — voice of Geralt in The Witcher series — may have something to do with it too, but whatever the case, the team isn't resting on its laurels for Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter. After watching the sequel in action in a hands-off preview, it's clear there's plenty here to stop it from growing stail — sorry, stale.

Ubisoft, Evil Empire Announce the Rogue Prince of Persia, Arriving in Early Access on May 14
The prodigal Prince has returned, and his comeback has gone down so well that he is doing it a second time. After his Metroidvania adventures in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which came out in January, gaming's iconic dual-blade wielding royalty is coming back for seconds in The Rogue Prince of Persia, a new 2D action-platforming rogue-lite title, arriving in Early Access on Steam on May 14. Developed by Dead Cells maker Evil Empire and published by Ubisoft, the next Prince of Persia game flaunts a colourful, cartoony art style and features platforming and action combat familiar to the series.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is Bringing Dead Cells Back to Life
The Prince of Persia has gone rogue! No, I don’t mean that he’s married a Hollywood actress, moved to California, and spilled the royal tea in a tell-all interview with Oprah. I mean he’s starring in his first 2D roguelite. Hot off the heels of the series’ excellent return to form in January’s The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, his sword-swinging highness is stepping away from the Metroidvania structure and into the procedurally generated, live, die, repeat mold of Dead Cells, in The Rogue Prince of Persia. While I’ve only had a very short amount of hands-on time with the upcoming adventure, the early signs suggest that this could well be the second dazzling jewel added to the Prince’s crown in less than the space of a year.
