We haven't seen Prince of Persia on PlayStation since 2010's Forgotten Sands on PS3. Time sure does fly when you're not mucking about with it to get through puzzles and death traps.
Fortunately, it seems that the originator of the series, Jordan Mechner, is trying to bring it back. Responding to American model (and Prince of Persia fan) Christine Teigen on Twitter, he said "We're doing our best to make it happen!"
However, Mechner's wasn't the only response Teigen received. Ubisoft Montréal also piped up: "Unfortunately, the Prince of Persia franchise is still on pause at the moment..."
From where we're sitting, it appears that Mechner is keen on bringing Prince of Persia to modern machines, but Ubisoft isn't playing ball right now. Only time will tell if his efforts see the light of day. Whatever happens, it's an interesting exchange.
Are you hoping to see Prince of Persia come to PS4? Do you have fond memories of the older games? Rewind time in the comments below.

No thank you. Don't miss it, don't want it back.
I hope ubisoft make open world prince of persia game, just make it like assassin creed origin but without the boring present-day section. And no lootbox.
I personally would love a new one. Forgotten sands was ace, and sands of time of course is an all time classic
I would really like an updated Prince of Persia. It’s a series that has good potential to be successful in the current gen.
... and wait ... Chrissy Teigen is a fan? Wow, that’s random. Uh, if she’s looking for suggestions, I’m happy to suggest some good games she might like in the meantime. ...Video games, that is, ahem.
I really liked the reboot, a sequel would be nice
would it be a reboot though?
speaking of Prince of Persia a HD remaster of all the Sands of Time series games would be nice
Bring back Prince of Persia 2008! Such an under-appreciated gem. Best of the series in my books.
Nice clickbait article
Bring back original prince of persia concept with modern 2,5 D graphics, then yes.
I dont know why they don't do it, they have the Assassins Creed game engine which contains all the physics and technology required to make a modern POP game. Hell, at this point I'd take a POP game over the washed out AC franchise any day of the week. I loved Sands of Time, Warrior Within and Forgotten Sands. Come on Ubi, bite the bullet and give us something that isn't AC for goodness sake.
I only want it if the character is modelled on Donnie Darko.
Is it exclusive?
I liked the semi-cell shaded one. Bring THAT back.
I'd love to see the Prince of Persia franchise make a comeback, though I'm not getting hyped until there's real news.
You do know this Chrissy Teigen account is a fake though right? It's actually John Kodera.
Sigh, I really want the series to come back. At least, Ubisoft could bring the PS2 games on PS4
I hope for a remake of "Sands of time" or a brand new game in the series!
I would like a new PoP game, but please keep it linear and all about the platforming and puzzles. If it becomes yet another open world game that demands 100 hours to work through a chore list disguised as 'Main quest' and 'side quests' I won't bother. Oh, and it might be better if the prince character was more like, you know, a Persian Prince rather than an American douche bag surfer dude. Just saying.
I would love a new Prince of Persia from the team that produced both The Sands of Time and The Forgotten Sands. A linear adventure not open world.
