Prince of Persia is getting a make over, one that not only gives the Prince a new look but breaks from the storyline that linked the franchise’s trilogy so close together.
The new Prince of Persia, we were told at a press event earlier this month, will be totally separate from the Sands of Time trilogy and will feature a prince, not the prince.
“There were hundreds of tails in Arabian Nights and this is just one of them,” Ben Mattes, the game’s producer said.
Instead the game is set in an “ancient fantasy Persia” and while it will continue to have some of the Prince of Persia’s pillars of play like acrobatic combat and movement, it will also lift some of the things that worked best in Assassin’s Creed.
