A New Prince Of Persia Game Is Reportedly Launching Later This Year
It seems like Prince of Persia games are just like buses - you wait ages for one and then two show up at the same time. Less than three months after the release of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, it's being reported that Ubisoft plans on releasing another Prince of Persia game later this year, this time a roguelite developed by the studio behind the DLC for hit indie title Dead Cells, Evil Empire.
