The Rogue Prince of Persia has attracted over one million players in the year since its full release last year, when developer Evil Empire launched the game out of Early Access across multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch. Ubisoft and Evil Empire are marking the milestone with an anniversary update arriving September 17, rolling out simultaneously across all platforms where the roguelite action title is available.

Details on what the anniversary update will include haven't been disclosed yet, though its simultaneous deployment suggests the studios are committed to keeping the playerbase aligned across its various editions.
