Evil Empire Wraps Up The Rogue Prince of Persia Support Ahead of Castlevania Launch
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Evil Empire has ended development on The Rogue Prince of Persia following a massive anniversary update to focus entirely on the upcoming October release of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.
Developer Evil Empire has officially ended development on The Rogue Prince of Persia just over a year after its release. As reported by Polygon, the studio rolled its planned final updates into a massive anniversary patch that dropped on September 17. The team explained that while they loved working on the project, the decision was necessary to close out the game's first year properly.
The timing makes complete sense given what is next on the horizon for the developer. Evil Empire is gearing up for the October 15 launch of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, the first new entry in the iconic franchise since 2014. Shifting all studio resources to the upcoming release ensures the team can handle day one patches, community feedback, and post-launch support for what is shaping up to be a major revival for the series.
Even though active development has ceased, The Rogue Prince of Persia leaves behind a polished final build with a massive 15-page patch note list addressing pacing and endgame balance. For players who treat action platformers as long-term staples in their rotation, the game is in a great final state to pick up and enjoy on PC and other supported platforms.
