Ubisoft just officially announced Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, a game which will hit in May to tie-in with the feature film. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Prince of Persia (the film) will focus on the storyline from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the first reboot of the franchise. Ubisoft’s temporarily abandoning their second Prince of Persia reboot to cash in on the film with this title, which seems to be a sidestory to the original Xbox and PS2 game and will apparently be more of a throwback.
You get all that?
“The goal is to reach both audiences, the core and casual gamers. It will be a game that will have lots of combat, with the possibility for gamers that are not as good – a level for beginners. In that sense we are trying to cover both groups.” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said during their financial report. That seemed to be the intention with the (quite fun) next-gen cell shaded reboot, but it will be nice to get back that time-rewinding feature from the last trilogy.
The trailer for the game will premiere during the Spike TV Video Game Awards on December 12th but since you probably don’t want to waste your time watching that, just keep an eye out for it online soon after. Expect The Forgotten Sands to hit all the major consoles and handhelds right alongside the film.

No one cares? well I care. I'll dare say prince of persia will be better than the dark knight and the new star trek. And I'll go even deeper and all intellectual about it and say it'll capture a certain aspect of the human condition which concerns our desire to understand the concept of time and how we wish we could reverse the aging process or stop it completely. I got no degree but I think about it just as much as those guys.
remember street fighter: the movie: the game?
this game was really not that good.. rent it beat it forget it.. the fighting was too sparse which was a good thing since it was spamming the same 2 moves.. the ending was pointless, there are 3 humans in the entire world of the game.. it has the feeling of an unfinished game throughout.. there are no deep concepts to explore other than to make a movie in warm weather.. dozens of other games should have had the greenlight long before this one..
It's a Disney movie. It will have the depth of a water puddle.
Funny story, when I was eight my cousin and I were jumping in puddles. He jumped in one and kept on going until only his head and shoulders were above water. He'd jumped into an uncovered manhole.
That said, this movie won't be that deep.
