The Rogue Prince of Persia ‘Anniversary’ update now available

Adds Ice element, new tool and weapon, new Arena challenges, and more.

Publisher Ubisoft and developer Evil Empire have released the “Anniversary” update for The Rogue Prince of Persia.

The update adds the new Ice element, a new tool and weapon, new Arena challenges, complete difficulty and boss fight rebalancing, and more.

Here are the details:

Smoother Start and Flow
Difficulty and pacing have been carefully tuned to deliver a far more satisfying challenge—less frustration early on, and way more room for pure mastery over time (that sweet “Easy to learn, hard to master” motto!)
The Wallrun Fix – Too many of you were cheesing General Berude with the Air Dash. (Okay, fine, that’s partly on us). Now, we’ve added mandatory wallrun sections to teach the flow.
Vayu Power-Up – Wallrunning now actively fills your Vayu bar, rewarding you for staying stylishly airborne.
Faster Pacing – Zagros and Aqueduct are compressed to cut down runback fatigue and get you to the action quicker.

The Freeze Element (Granddad Approved)
Once, while out fishing, my granddad adjusted his bucket hat and said: “Son, no good rogue-lite ever lands without deep elemental interactions.” Taking his wise angling advice to heart, we introduce Freeze:
Freeze ‘Em Solid – Stack it twice to freeze enemies completely, interrupting their attacks.
Shatter and Synergies – The frozen state ends with a heavy damage burst. Enemies in water get double stacks, and a swift Kick instantly shatters them for tactical repositioning.
New Gear, Stats Screen, Rebalancing, and Everything Else
Run Stats Screen – Track your performance and runtime in the Oasis and at the end of successful runs.
Weapon Affixes – Weapons now spawn with up to four affix slots (Bronze to Diamond) that you can reroll at Astara’s Shop.
Crit Nerf – Crit builds were scaling out of control, so we reined them in a bit (don’t worry, new Critical Sharpener medallions are here to help).
New Challenges – Chaotic “Suspicious Chest” combat arenas are all waiting.
And a Massive Pile of Extras – Final boss rework (Nogai got scarier), mob density reworks, elites drops medallions and a mountain of quality-of-life fixes.
