Update: According to ex-Ubisoft and Naughty Dog animator Jonathan Cooper, this is not gameplay footage, but a target render. "This target game footage (pre-rendered game pitch) inspired our own pitch for Assassin's Creed III as they did such a great job making it look like real gameplay," he said.
Original Story: Here’s a strange story: there’s been footage of a cancelled Prince of Persia game on YouTube for over eight years, but it’s only just been properly discovered. The concept trailer, subtitled Redemption, was in development for PlayStation 3, and it shows an Uncharted-esque set-piece scenario involving time manipulation, sword fighting, and lots of running.
The game obviously never released, but fortunately there are rumours of a new Prince of Persia game, after publisher Ubisoft registered a domain name. But while we wait for more information on that, what do you think of this concept? It’s definitely got that late PS3-era muddy style to it, but we reckon the gameplay ideas look like lots of fun.

Is it too much to hope that this is not 100% coincidental that this footage was just found mere days after ubisoft registered a new Prince of Persia domain name?
Nice, I definitely like the God-of-War vibe. Some people would say "rip-off", I think "inspired" (especially with time-manipulation thrown in there)!
This actually looks pretty good!I really hope we are indeed getting a new Prince Of Persia..It's been way too long.
@keihtg Yeah I see the God of War too!
This game looks better then anything they released this entire generation. Ubisoft
@keihtg If its a good ripoff who cares.😆
I can totally get behind this
This is cool as fcuk.
Prince of Persia needs to come back, this actually looks decent even without being gameplay
To all the people being hyped up for a new pop game ever since that domain registration, there is a better than good chance that it is fake since Unisoft registrar is gandi sas while that one's registrar is godaddy coupled with the fact that that domain has a status of client hold meaning it's not paid for so......you know probably some prankster.
This looks good, I hope ubi will make this game on ps5 😃
I think i speak for us all when i say...Damnit!!
Wow.that look amazing.give me that.word up son word
This would be a game of the year!
Great [not actual gameplay] footage! Looks really sharp. Uncharted meets God of War meets Jedi: Fallen Order meets Spider-Man... very kinetic and loving the time manipulation parts. Forget PS3, this would look great for PS5.
So the Prince will be back on PS4/PS5?
@Th3solution in short, you could say this game looks like a Prince of Persia game.
Assassins Creed III meets God of War III... Is preorder that.
Both, God of War and Assassins Creed franchises have gone into this weird open-world direction with Witcher 3 style combat that... is fun on its own way but feels mundane. I want more a return to games with crazy combo based combat. This is a market hole that Prince of Persia could fill in.
I really dont see princeof persia coming back so long as ubisoft can slap AC on any game and it will ell sell.
Prince of Persia deserves a come back.
Damn. That combat looks fun. Looking for weak points and alt angles using time manipulation is a great idea. Also, the tired out parkour, climbing mechanics look more unique there, especially if it were to have multiple paths, should you fail to reach crumbling sections in time. I liked the first trilogy and also the 2006 game. Never completed the other ps3 title, I just lost interest, sadly.
I would have bought this game day one and play the fudge out of it.
Day one for sure if they're indeed working on a true PoP game...not interested if it's a phone game or online only/filled with in game purchases.
