Ubisoftupdated it's Prince of Persia Facebook page promising information starting next week.
It's been some time since we last heard of a new Prince of Persia game but it seems like the wait is over. Currently Ubisoft have a huge number of big hitting games lined up for release and still they tempt us with more...
There was a time when Prince of Persia was Ubsioft's flagship franchise. The Sands of Time is still regarded as one of the best games the company has ever produced. It still has a rock solid fan base to this day.
Times started changing by the time the seventh generation of consoles [read: PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360] arrived, however. The downfall was triggered by 2008's Prince of Persia. It tried to revitalise the series by taking a different approach from it's heritage, the end result was disappointed fans. In 2010 The Forgotten Sands tried returning to its roots but still the franchise magic remained burried.
Since then Ubisoft wisely avoided another PoP title, stating franchise fatigue. Maybe that was for the best...
Well enoughs enough and Prince or Persia information is coming next week. We're excited! As always, PoP back next week to hear all about it.
Still, do you think this upcoming announcement for the game could be an iOS game? Or a full-blown AAA title? GD'ers, vote and shout your thoughts in comments below!

I have kinda lost hope in PoP ever since the newer titles butchered the series. So, not interested.
PC Specs
Can't argue with that.
PC Specs
I must say, I do agree with you two. The fact that you couldn't die in PoP2008 kinda took it away for me, and only the platforming (IMO) was good in Forgotten Sands. In TFS, the story was a little confusing (as if the Prince had Memory Loss), and the combat system was kinda dull. Not to mention, the graphics looked kinda outdated.
PC Specs
But I still loved that prince :) Hope he comes back with a better story...
PC Specs
Which one, 2008, or TFS?
I loved the 2008 Prince, because he is kinda like me in most ways. And, yeah, the story should be awesome.
PC Specs
How can someone be not interested in the POP Series !?
PC Specs
15 people are out of their minds, or they're Kids.
PC Specs
Indeed :P
PC Specs
haha "PoP" back next week xP nice one.
PC Specs
Yes! I like Prince of Persia very much!
PC Specs
ohhhhhhhhhh god so much memories with the prince!!!!!!!! what an epic trilogy, THE TWO THRONES was an epic game with that music and great combat and the beautiful story....ohh man i can't wait man ican't wait!!!
PC Specs
Calm down... :D
PC Specs
LOL
PC Specs
LOL yeah, don't get your hopes up too high. It could just be the Shadow and Flame remake.
PC Specs
What Does AAA Title Mean :P, And lol i voted to it without knowing what it is :D
PC Specs
Lol:D It's basically a quality game with a high budget.
PC Specs
Not necessarily a quality game, like for example Call of Duty is a AAA title :P
PC Specs
xD
Just burned CoD there.
PC Specs
Ah, that was.. cruel:D but a bit true. Anyways CoD is at least good in graphics and optimization, so you could say it's kinda good qualitry:D (not a typo)
PC Specs
what good graphics lol? I feel like I've been seeing DLC and Expansion Packs for Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare these past years.
PC Specs
Then sir, I assure you that you haven't played Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Ultra settings :)
PC Specs
Indeed, I cant play that on ultra but I saw it at a friend, that is really impressive!
PC Specs
Prince Of Persia is one of the best games I've ever played. I just hope that it will be released for PC as well. Not only for those "Next Generation VCR Players".
PC Specs
HAHAHAHHA ;)
PC Specs
"Next Generation VCR Players", you just made by day bro XD
PC Specs
Thanx guys:-D
PC Specs
I liked all the PoP games especially PoP (2008), though it had nothing to do with the roots of the game I liked the story (wish there was some more back story for the prince) and I loved the Art style it used and I liked how they made it sort of Open World.
PC Specs
hope this true cuz i really love this game .
PC Specs
OMG, I have waited for this day since I don't know when!!!!! Hopefully it will be an AAA Title!!!
For me Prince of Persia pwns Assassins Creed series, and as much as I like AC series, I hate them equally because it was probably them that put the PoP series to a standstill...
PC Specs
No, Assassin's Creed came out in 2008 but even The Forgotten Sands got a good fan base so its Ubi who left out the series.
PC Specs
Indeed :)
PC Specs
I hope this will be the best in franchise , I don't want any **** game like that 2008 and 2010 games
PC Specs
Finally, been waiting for this for a while:)
PC Specs
me too
PC Specs
I have played some prince of persian with my old psp :D But these adventure jumping things aren't my stuff :D
PC Specs
I remember those as well :D
PC Specs
Finally, I shouted out like Yesterday, If I had the time I would've made the Article myself when I got the news but Great Work "TaheRookie" ;D
PC Specs
It was already ready :D It just takes time to appear onto the Homepage because of the many articles already piled up by our awesome team of writers and waiting for approval. Needless to say, we would love it if you could write articles and submit them as well.
And thanks bro. Appreciate it :D
PC Specs
crossing fingers hoping it is a AAA title
PC Specs
Oh yeah I totally forgot about the approval system,
I will try my best to make time, and you're welcome man ;)
PC Specs
I heard the news yesterday and I couldn't be but very tempted to see the series back in a whole new attractive shape. I just wish they don't make it similar to Assassin's Creed. After all, both are built on similar gaming mechanics. I want to see it different. Still, I can't help but hope AC will still best it xD!
PC Specs
yeah but the settings are too different, the gameplay may be same in the comabt departments but im sure no stealthy style will be adopted in PoP
PC Specs
The level of stealthness is considerably low in PoP series.
PC Specs
True enough but they are similar in combat, free running and parkour :)
PC Specs
can't wait if it is pc version, love the old POP versions...
PC Specs
I don't think it would be a mobile game, as Ubisoft already developing "Prince Of Persia: The Shadow And Flames" for iOS & mobile devices. It could be a movie also, but I really hope that it would be an AAA title - Maybe Ubisoft planning POP for next gen consoles :D
PC Specs
Yeah that's what I've been thinking.
But if it turns out to be a AAA title . . . then heaven would've come down to earth for me. Then I would've pissed my pants. I want awesome 3D Platforming, epic combat sequences and an open world if it's a new Prince of Persia game. And finally . . . Arabian music. Have you listened to this?
Absolutely amazing.
:D
PC Specs
Yeah me too mate, I'm a great fan of the POP franchise and I would be really happy to see a new POP AAA title. And with the next gen consoles, I'm sure the graphics would be simply amazing as other ubisoft games (Assassin's creed, watchdogs etc..) Ah thanks for the music, remembered old times when playing Sands of time. But I prefer warrior within OST :D
PC Specs
I don't know, but WW was a great game, but it never captured my heart like SOT or TT did.
:/
PC Specs
Yes!! Arabian Music :D
PC Specs
I think it's name will be POP reboot ;)
PC Specs
I love pop, very excited :D
PC Specs
PoP was an unforgettable title
