Prince Of Persia Roguelite From Dead Cells Dev Revealed, Switch Not Confirmed

That running animation still stands out as scrimping, but otherwise I'm optimistic, based on the little gameplay shown in that trailer and the pedigree of the series.

This was by far the best announcement.

They were so evil for teasing Silksong in the countdown.

Oh no he’s purple. Doublecheck his hair too.

Wow, it might be a good game, but honestly if this were out before the other PoP I would be super impressed. Don't know why im not feeling this video.

The animation is a bit ropey. And the comic book style purple skin tone just makes me think I'm watching The Count from Sesame Street in a roguelike.

So this looks amazing and all with the smooth animation, but I don't understand the choice for the color palette?

It looks like that hideous Corporate Memphis art style that everyone dislikes. If they chose more Earth tone colors than it wouldn't look as weird. At least the prince looks Persian instead of like Killmonger.

Looks excellent. If it’s half as good as The Lost Crown I’ll be happy. And I’m totally fine with the new art style!

Both Prince of Persia and, specially, Dead Cells are names I like so I am most probably going to get it.
But although they already proved themselves great at 2d Roguelikes, I was expecting a new different route from the Dead Cells developers when they announced that they were over with that one.
Anyways good news in a very week year of gaming news

Definitely cool to see Prince of Persia coming back this strong.

The gameplay and art style reminds me a lot of Treasures of the Aegean which did this with better animation and some awesome parkour movesets.

I really thought that whole trailer was going to go by with no gameplay lol.

@Freek The main character of Treasure has some of the most awkward running and climbing animations I've ever seen for a game about parkour.

I will agree that the art in that game can sometimes be very pretty though.

Oh my god yessssssssss. My childhood game series (I started with the old 2D games mind you) is getting the most appropriate reboot right now. I love this so so so so much!! And I'm really feeling this trailer, holy shut!

Now that looks cool!

Guess I'm the outlier, my immediate impression was, "wow this looks terrible" I love dead cells and it is my 4th most played switch game of all time but was wishing for something different. The art style is off putting also. Unfortunately probably a pass for now

Really hate that this is going into early access first; especially after the long wait for DEAD CELLS on home consoles. That being said, I was just thinking yesterday how the art style from the PoP comic book many years ago would be interesting for a game. And well, this is pretty darn close. Will be watching this closely.

Looks super fine, middle east setting and music, gameplay wise looks great, and more importanly no those twitter haircut lol.

I think I'll get this on early access and buy it again on home console when it's released, like deedlit on wonder labyrinth 😃

ps. I think they will released this on switch 2, maybe there's switch port but it will be compromised, with worse resolutions and framerate. Even some 2D (2.5D) games like contra operation galuga is 30 fps on switch.

Evil empire developping the game is a great news dead cell is such a great game even if I never finished it because I'm just bad at the game. But if the rogue POP release on switch 2, not releasing on the first switch will be a 130 millions mistake.

@wiiware lost crown runs at 60fps on switch. rogue is a 2d game and evil empire is used to the switch hardware, I think they could make it run at 60fps on switch like in dead cells.

@rvcolem1 Saaaame. And maybe because I’m playing through The Lost Crown I’m being biased; but regardless “me no likey.”

@geo-shifter yeah I beat lost crown about a month ago and enjoyed it until like the last hour or so (the story fell off for me) and some quests broke (bird pirate thing). But I remember early dead cells being completely different than the finished product, so we will see.

looks bad... looks like another boring rogue like

@nathatruc I think it depend on the game engine, contra galuga somehow more "heavy" than prince of persia lc. This game looks like street of rage 4 so maybe it can be 60 fps on switch.
