It appears that a new Prince of Persia Remake is currently under development. Online game retailer MAX has listed this remake for current-gen platforms, hinting at a possible reveal next month during Ubisoft’s upcoming event.
Normally, I wouldn’t be sharing such this story as we’re talking about a Ubisoft game. And… well… we’ve seen what happened with the online listings for Splinter Cell. However, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier claimed that MAX has basically ruined Ubisoft’s upcoming announcement.
Video game retailers sure love leaking Ubisoft's surprise announcements https://t.co/3BP8pbgdBK

So yeah, my guess is that this is a real thing. However, we should note that we still don’t know which Prince of Persia game Ubisoft will be remaking. Will it be the Sands of Time game or the 2008 reboot?
What’s also interesting here is the origin of the artwork for this Prince of Persia game that MAX used. This artwork was originally featured in a recent Reddit leak. According to that leak, this Prince of Persia Remake targets a Holiday 2020 release date, though it may slip to 2021 due to the COVID 19 outbreak. It will also have the same mechanics and story from the original (but with new twists).
As always, we strongly suggest taking the above information with a grain of salt. As said, Ubisoft will hold a new Forward event in September 2020. My guess is that the French team will reveal this remake during that event. We may also hear something about the Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creed VR games.
Stay tuned for more!

Let’s hope it’s not another Prince of Fortnite shie!
what worries me is that instead of a new game they went with a Remake, which means they are either abandoning the franchise after this altogether or “reinventing”.
They abandoned it long time ago. from the remnant of pop AC is born. and they would never make another one as long as AC is profitable.
that should have shown them that even the remainder of PoP has the potential to start a whole new IP.
why is it left lying around collecting dust, UBISOFT?
Ubi was woke before Hascoet’s departure, and he was a d*ck even for male workers, sometimes someone is just a d*ck, not everyone is a victim
I am afraid, yet hopeful. I can’t help it. Please don’t fck it up, please..
that’s what Michael Bay said to the brothers who directed Bad Boys 3 ! and we know how that movie turned out
2008 version still holds up graphically thanks to the cell-shaded graphics. Hopefully they do Sands of Time.
Oh great yet another damn remake.
I really hope it’s not a remaster in disguise
(((remake)))
NOT A NEW GAME…………
After like 2 gens….
what are you picking on them for? they’ve been busy coming up with ideas to turn SC and PoP into something more inclusive and accessible!
don’t you like an open-world GaaS PoP with skins and events and tons of microtranscations? or maybe you prefer a female Sam Fisher in a battle royale?
Ubisoft had the temerity to put Sam in every single game except his own ! FFS! fans have more respect for the character than the company does !
Just imagine it’s going to be a normal game like we used to have in the normal days…
But knowing the new ubi, pretty sure some SJW/LGBT are going to be on the game, a playable strong man in a female skin with some nonsense twist no one ask for… I guess wait and see.
Hopefully they change this sexist name to Non-binary princess of persia
women have earned the right to be angry and voice their ire after decades of objectification and oppression BUT there’s this saying: “be humble in victory and gracious in defeat”. instead of showing the world how badly they have been treated and what could have been done instead by doing the right thing, they have been trying childishly to assert dominance and ridicule men left and right (see Valhalla’s collector edition, Obsidian’s character diversity). They have been doing the exact same thing men did decades ago, and that’s every bit as sexist. IMHO, they (all the movements) don’t deserve recognition until they can show some maturity.
I expect the main character will be a woman, a princess perhaps even though the game called Prince of Persia. While the prince will take a back seat, relegated into secondary, incompetent character.
that, by the way, reminded me of Toy Story 4.
a co-op game with both genders in it :)))
but even that would provoke people! “did you just assume our sexual preferences? I’ll have you know we’er a happy homosexual couple, so expunge those names off that cover ! it should be just PERSIA”
I have nothing against homosexuality, but when a company like Ubisoft takes them in and fails to keep their agendas in check, we get forced “diversity”.
it’s as if that caption at the beginning of their AC games has become less relevant and more of a joke because certain people at the company seem to be getting more opportunities than the others to speak their minds.
Plus stronk independent princess…
If they could make it closer to the second game i would be totally hyped for it.
first game was good but the second is my all time favorite.
Me too. Although i recall “critics” gave it low score. I think the second one is great, and it’s lengthy too. The third one is the weakest in my opinion. Feels rushed to the end.
2nd one ?warrior within?
that would be awesome. the moody somber atmosphere of the second one along with the art direction made for the best PoP yet.
P.S. also the OST
Oh dear god no…
excuse me sir, it’s kangz.
as a Persian, I can attest that very little about this game resembled the Persian history and culture to begin with. the game captures the greatness and vastness of the Persian empire however fails to depict a real image of the people who lived at the time. Persians were afluent and now that Arabs are rich people automatically assume that Arabs are Persian, hence our prince looking like an Arab (which is not a bad thing per se but not historically accurate). if you look up Cyrus the Great (????), you’ll realise that the Prince looked nothing like a member of the royal family, nor did he behave like one. also, with PoP 2007, they tried their hand at the Persian language and failed miserably to hire a person who could actually pronounce the words.
in the end, it’s just a game, so it doesn’t really matter who or what’s in it. the moment you decide to deviate from facts, you get fantasy and in a fantastic world anything is possible. even a transgender prince(ess) who has both the agility of the Prince and the sensitivity of a princess. (SARCASM!)
pop is overrated. it’s not even good.
you forget to say “to me”
no it’s trash, it’s a fact.
so is Doom I guess :))
your taste is shet if you don’t like doom, fact.
if you say so
Sands of Time trilogy is arguably the best thing Ubisoft ever made. Still there’s no better sword combat system to this date than what Warrior Within offered.
i don’t like jumping over people like a wild baboon over and over, that’s not a good combat system.
Nobody’s forcing you to jump, but it sure comes in handy. And you fail to see that the prince is more of an acrobatic type, shown not only in combat but also exploration.
those games had trash combat system, one of the worst i’ve seen in my life.
Right… :))) Get your eyes checked, mate! Really! But do let me know what game has better swordplay than Warrior Within… spoiler alert – none that offers everything you see in this video. NONE, after 16 years!!! This is a fact, not your nonsense! If they really remake the Sands of Time trology, which would be a dream come true, hope they keep the exact same combat system for Warrior Within. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHgGfsZN-5I
go away you annoying bug, i’m not reading shet.
There is like 2% chance for this game to be good. This is LGBTQ”P”+++++ 2020 UBISOFT. I’m preparing for the worst and it is depressing because i love Prince of Persia series.
