During the Ubisoft Forward conference, the developers announced a remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the legendary action game. The release is scheduled for January 11, 2021.
Information about a possible remake has leaked a little earlier than the official release – the day before the conference, a video appeared in the Russian version of the Uplay store in which the old game received a new look. Then the Persian symbols were found in the Ubisoft Forward ad, and finally, at the conference itself, the company confirmed the fan’s guess and announced the remake’s release.
According to them, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is not a reboot or a remaster. The developers did not touch the level design, the general plot, and other details familiar to many since childhood – precisely in order to preserve nostalgia for those people, but on the other hand, they completely re-recorded all in-game dialogues, reworked the combat system, and updated the character movements using motion capture technologies. Thus, the remake will appeal to both beginners and players familiar with the series.
Little is known about the game yet, but the first shots look quite fresh, and the improvements announced by Ubisoft promise to be interesting. We advise you to pay close attention to the game – especially considering that it is already open for pre-ordered.
