Rumor: New Prince of Persia game details leaked (update: fake)

[Shakerovic]

from reddit:

Apparently someone who claims to work at Ubisoft noticed my latest post. He sent me some interesting insights about the next Prince of Persia game before deleting his account. As always, take this with a big grain of salt.
The game is called Prince of Persia: Dark Babylon. It's set after The Two Thrones in an alternate, almost dystopic version of Babylon which can be explored to a certain extent. The gameplay will be very similar to the trilogy, yet will somewhat feel different. You play as an older Prince. The main antagonist is an evil version of the Prince that comes from a different timeline. You'll be able to customize the Prince's armor and abilities like in the in the new God of War, from which seems to take a lot of inspiration. It is scheduled to be announced at the PlayStation Meeting in February and will be a cross-gen title. Release date is early 2021.
No word on a new Splinter Cell.

I really hope this is true. I revisited the trilogy and realized how much I missed these games - AC became the focus and they left PoP behind. I hope the art style is similar to 2008! I love that too.

 

[Deleted member 6263]

Would love to see it in the art style of the reboot. Very cool if true.

 

[CalamityPixel]

Take old franchise.

Age character and add beard.

Add RPG lite elements.

Voila

 

[Hanbei]

Sounds fake, I don't know.

 

[Komo]

I mean Assassins Creed Ragnarok has leaked 2 times now so I'm hyped for that.

 

[DarkChronic]

yeah not feeling the truth of this. this is classic "cover all your tracks" type stuff:

The gameplay will be very similar to the trilogy, yet will somewhat feel different.

*eye roll*

Why y'all keep posting shit from dubious sources? How many threads need to be locked?

 

[Deleted member 59519]

Nah

 

[Linus815]

the prince will be a sad dad with a beard?

 

[Max|Payne]

Pretty sure at this point Ubi would reboot the story again.

 

[chusetto]

My uncle on Ubisoft

This sounds like it would follow the stupid dark tone of warrior within and two thrones, and if so i'm not interested. Sands of time had the perfect tone for this sort of game and they ruined it for mid-00's edgy bs.

 

[Zebesian-X]

Cue 30 different "Reddit Devs" leaking a different game to be announced at the PS5 reveal...

Love me some Prince of Persia tho, I'd dig this

Splinter Cell and PoP rumours truly are the funniest kind because they're all wrong

 

[Xando]

Tfw we get a PoP game before a new splinter cell

What u doing Yves

 

[Indelible]

I don't believe it, don't see them connecting it with the old trilogy in any way.

 

[Team_Feisar]

Sounds fake and also, Splinter Cell is really the Franchise that should get a revive. AAA stealth games are few and far between and I feel like AC has developed the original vision of the Pop Trilogy to its fullest already, at least regarding movement and combat.

 

[Khanimus]

I'll believe it when I see it. Unless Ubi can monetize the shit out of it, they ain't making a PoP again.

 

[Chunchun]

Yeah it seems like fake but can't say no to this game. I would prefer this instead of a reboot.

 

[ThroughtheVoid]

That sounds like a safe ass guess that is somewhat believable, and that's why I'm out.

 

[sredgrin]

There's no way in hell if this ever gets a new game that it is going to be a sequel. It'll be a hard reboot.

 

[Moist_Owlet]

The two thrones was 2edgy4me

 

[Ushojax]

I'd kill for a new PoP but not one attached to the Sands games. Those sequels were not worth building on and the tone was dumb as hell.

RIP PoP 2008.

 

[Mullet2000]

Man. Sands of Time is a game that deserves a full on Bluepoint style remake.

Would love to see that, probably even moreso than a new game.

 

[AndyVirus]

Gods of Monsters, Roller Champions, R6 Quarantine, Skull & Bones, BG&E 2, WD Legion, AC Kingdom, Avatar all coming, but Prince of Persia early next year, sure.

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

*Godsmack riff*

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

If it's real, please don't be a generic open world game. Please.

 

[LewieP]

I don't believe it, don't see them connecting it with the old trilogy in any way.

Especially when the old trilogy are not available on current systems.

 

[Chivalry]

 

[Yuntu]

I will not believe any PoP rumor until it is in front of my eyes as a game.

 

[Sioul]

Playable Farah please, and Dahaka chasing the evil Prince for a bonus boss.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Isn't that just a very nutshelled version of Soul Reaver 2's story lol?

its not even a dubious source its literally some guy posting hearsay or worse he could just make it up

 

[Kuro]

I can't imagine it being based on the story of the PS2 games. It will more than likely be another reboot.

 

[Ausroachman]

Does he have a child now ?

 

[diablogg]

If you would have your wish... Then give me MINE

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

I would've loved Forgotten Sands if the story wasn't forgettable as hell and if the game wasn't unpolished as fuck


I tried playing Two Thrones but also gave off a very strong "unpolished" feel

 

[hydruxo]

I just want a PoP 2008 sequel man. Loved that game.

 

[Kalentan]

Going to assume it's fake. Doubly so after Ubisoft's big backlash about all their games becoming very similar.

 

[Tygerjaw]

I like rumours, but I don't believe a single word of this one. I also have chosen not to believe in any Splinter Cell rumours until something is announced for real, I've been burned too many times.

 

[John Harker]

Yea that's not the next PoP release

 

[barksi]

I would be really really surprised if we get another Prince of Persia game. Would like to be wrong but I don't believe this rumor in the slightest. I guess some of the many recent leaks about AC: Ragnarok might be true, but this PoP one... i doubt it (unfortunately)

 

[Anomander]

inb4 lock

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Please let it be true...

Splinter Cell and PoP rumours truly are the funniest kind because they're all wrong

Click to shrink...

Elaborate a bit more especially on the SC?

 

[DevilMayGuy]

I would be in, but I'd be even more in for a 2008 style PoP

[Ascenion]

I would sacrifice Assassin's Creed and every exclusive from every Platform holder for PoP to comeback.
