The first change that The Rogue Prince of Persia players will notice after installing the new update will be on a visual level. The development team says they could «write an essay about the reasons and debate behind the change in style,» but the easiest way to explain it is that «we weren't getting the production value we were looking for and the tone of 'action game' we should.» The studio is convinced that this prevented many people from trying the game, so they have applied changes so that the title fits better with the story, setting and saga of Prince of Persia.
With the new design, the prince has a different color, but it is not ruled out that in the future an appearance «for purple lovers» will be included.
At the content level, the big news are two new biomes: Golden Mines, which is presented as an alternative to the village of Zagros and the Hun camp, and Artisan District, an alternative environment to the Flooded Gardens. In these areas the prince will find five new enemies, including some that attack from underground, explode or teleport. There are also two bosses. On the other hand, the story is expanded with the second act and all the dialogue from the first has been rewritten, while the difficulty is adjusted so that it is not so flat and the challenge increases as you progress.
«We've added a ton of features in a very short amount of time,» says Evil Empire. «Now we have to go back over them and refine them both individually and as a whole. I'm looking at you, bag of medallions… So, for the In the immediate future, you can expect us to polish the existing content, while adding some excitement. We also have to finish the story, which means a final boss and some more environments, so don't worry: aside from polishing, too. let's go add new content».
Finally, note that the price of The Rogue Prince of Persia «will go up a little in January» to reflect that the content has increased.
