I'm conflicted.

PoP was my joint back in the day. This would be developed by modern Ubi, however, and I don't jive with their games.

I'll stay cautiously optimistic.

Well, they did do that that VR escape room thing recently. Dagger of Time, was it? Might as well get more mileage out of those assets.

Hold up:
  1. Sands of Times
  2. Warrior Within
  3. The Two Thrones
  4. 2008 Reboot
  5. The Forgotten Sands
  6. ???
So is 2008 part of the canon or...were just going to count it and move on? XD

You know what they could do, since AC has now gone the way of the Open World Action RPG.
POP should be more like previous AC games (ironic since AC its POP's successor). No idea if they should go open world though, using time travel mechanics in an open world could be awesome but taxing as hell.

A Prince of Persia game which overlaps with Assassin's Creed lore would be the only way I could see them doing this, creatively

But in terms of business/strategy, there is NO good case for a new PoP game being made, except perhaps as a low budget small-team development. It's very unlikely anything will happen here.

"Furthermore, Ubisoft also own Prince of Persia 5 domain, which was originally created in 2005, a couple of years before the launch of Prince of Persia spin-off title."

So, what title is being referenced here? PoP 2008

It's his own thing but it still count as a PoP game

Not happening. Hell, we still don't have Splinter Cell yet. Ubisoft also don't really make narrative driven AAA linear games anymore.

I can't believe they're adding a the Prince of Persia to Rainbow Six! Just the kind of parkour swordsman they've been needing!

If this ends up being anything I want it to be in the style of the Trilogy and not that 2008 entry (was it 2008?).

the Gamepass buisness model might be changing that though. Multiplayer games and open world bloat don't drive subscriptions as much as shorter replayable single player games do.

hell even EA isn't allergic to single player games anymore for this reason

Hope it's a live service open world with co-op and microtransactions.

I hope the original creator will be direct this game so it gets resurrected in the best way like GOW got and what is happening to SH right now.

I love 2008 but it's pretty clearly a different prince and a different world, whereas all the other ones exist in the same world with a consistent narrative arc. I'd prefer they just kept it as its own entry, or did a sequel to it, rather than trying to shoehorn it all together.

Just do what Zelda does - the Legend of Zelda story is an archetype and can exist in many different forms in many different timelines.

The only lame POP game is Warrior Within. Such a chore.
Gameplay-wise it was more than competent enough, in some ways better than Sands of Time.
And the Dahaka sequences were a blast. A bit too heavy on the backtracking, though.

Still, it blows shitty PoP 2008 a couple of miles away without even putting proper effort in it.
At least it didn't have 4-seconds-long canned animations for any button press.

How well did the last two games do? I thought PoP 2008 sold "ok" but maybe it's just because I didn't see much interest for it where I live (specially compared to the trilogy).

Assassin's Creed is probably not going back to Egypt (or deserts in general) for the foreseeable future after doing so in 2017 with one of the best games in the franchise, Origins. Prince of Persia even more so has a place in our lives now. Please don't disappoint.

I wouldn't bring my hopes up, it looks like it wasn't registered by Ubisoft.

I still think something related to Prince of Persia is in the works, but the domain registration means nothing and it's probably fake.

Two Thrones is one of my favorite games ever. I loved the stealth sections in that game and I occasionally think back to how artistically the camera angles were handled in certain places. I want all of that in the next PoP; it should be the complete opposite of Assassin's Creed. More linear, more stealth-focused, and with parkour/climbing that requires skill and precision.
