The Rogue Prince of Persia: developers have explained the reason for the visual style

Development studio Evil Empire has released the third community update for the upcoming game The Rogue Prince of Persiaa roguevania set in the world of the series created by Jordan Mechner, in which he answered questions related to the Artistic direction of the game.

It is then explained that for the visual side, the developers were inspired by Persian miniatures, of which they appreciated the bright colors and the impression they give of having come out of dreams. To give more depth and distinguish the game elements, they also took inspiration from Franco-Belgian graphic novel artists, especially from Moebius. It was also explained that Persian painters were “often financially supported by the royal family and this is a game about the prince of Persia, so the sense of nobility given by this style was a natural choice for us for the game.” Naturally, the other chapters of the series were also inspirational, with some elements that were taken from all the most important episodes, such as the first, released in 1989, or The Sands of Time, a classic that we are all waiting for. remake.

Soundtrack and trailer

Speaking of soundtrack, it was explained that the game’s music was composed by Assadi, a Persian-American electronic music composer who blends traditional Persian elements with hip-hop and trap influences. The music was created to immerse the player in the game world and push him to move forward.

Finally, i animated trailers they were made by LaCette, the studio behind the “Primal” series. The trailers showcase the prince’s acrobatic and fighting skills, his determination to stop the Hun invasion, and his compassion for those who need help.

For the rest, we remind you that The Rogue Prince of Persia will be released in early access on May 27, 2024, only on PC, after having been postponed due to Hades 2. Console versions are also expected in the future, but we don’t know about them nothing yet, timing included. As a final note, we remind you that Evil Empire is the studio that for years handled Dead Cells on behalf of Motion Twin.
