These statements suggest that there may be some sort of negative association or dislike towards the original franchise, which is not supported by any evidence in the article. Additionally, phrases such as 'The Rogue Prince of Persia takes inspiration from Dead Cells' and 'Evil Empire worked on that game for around five years before it was announced there would be no more updates to the game' suggest a positive association with the original franchise, which is not supported by any evidence in the article. The author also uses phrases such as 'Metroidvania-inspired action-platforming gameplay with roguelike elements' and 'The Rogue Prince of Persia will be launching in Steam Early Access on May 14', which suggest a positive association towards the new game, without providing any evidence to support this claim.
