Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Possible Prince of Persia Reboot Screenshot Emerges

A screenshot from what could be another Prince of Persia reboot has found its way online, sparking speculation that Ubisoft could be starting over with the franchise, which would also presumably mean that 2008's rebooted Prince of Persia won't be getting a sequel.

The image was posted on Ubisoft's official forums and bears text that reads "POP_ZERO_2". It's entirely possible that the shot could be the first hint of a Prince of Persia reboot, especially given that Prince of Persia Zero was a codename for a canned PoP game that would have aimed to do something radical with the series.

Upon closer scrutiny, you'll note that the prince character is black and the setting resembles somewhere like Egypt rather than Persia, with the clothing also looking somewhat Egyptian. It's also clearly a game that's in the early stages of development. Whether the screenshot is authentic or not remains to be seen, but a potential Prince of Persia reboot seems like a reasonable assumption to make. As ever though, take this with a pinch of salt.

So a reboot of a reboot of a reboot. That's got to be a record

Not PoP look at what in the left land corner. That has nothing to do with PoP. This is something new. :)

It looks nothing like Prince of Persia though.

Anyone else thinks that his standing pose looks like Dark/Demons Souls?

Could just be a performance display they run to keep the frame rate etc constant??

They should make HD remakes od PoP 1 and 2 from SNES and let the series go from there or die. The last 2 sucked way hard

Well I'm hopeful and can't wait to hear more about it. I've always enjoyed Prince of Persia, been playing since the Apple II way back when. =)

Well this has nothing to do with AC considering the next game to come out is set during the american revolution. I would love another PoP game. The last one was good, but still no where near as good as a warrior within or the two thrones.

I'd like another PoP game, as long as it's nothing like the 2008 one, the was clearly the worst PoP game I have ever played

I recently replayed the Sands of Time trilogy, and it's clear that without PoP we would not have Assassin's Creed. Even the last sequence in Two Thrones seems like an early version of eagle vision. That said, Assassin's Creed improved on the PoP gameplay and now PoP seems the weaker offering. Coupled with an ambitious but dull 2008 release, then the utterly forgettable movie tie it, this once great series is in dire need of a good reboot.

Egypt was part of the Persian empire at one point, or at least some of it was. So its feasible that it is a Prince of Persia set in Egypt.

Looks nothing like PoP, no matter how often it says ZERO 2 somewhere on it. Even if they call it a PoP Reboot ... I mean, doing something revolutionary ect. why not go the whole way and make it an entirely new IP, just like they did with AC.

Would love a sequel to PoP2008, though. Games was amazingly beautiful and the gameplay had a lot of potential, they just ruined it by making the game a walk in the park. (And the prince a whiny, wisecracking brat.)
