Look, normally we’d treat product listings published by Guatemalan retailers with a shrug of the shoulders, but when reliable journalists like Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier comment on them – well, you kinda have to pay attention, don’t you? Here’s the story: MAX posted a page for a PlayStation 4 game named Prince of Persia Remake. Interestingly, it appears to include the logo from the PS3 era reboot, but that could be placeholder.
In fact, we assumed the whole thing was F*ckingNothing.gif, until the aforementioned scribe dropped the following comment on Twitter: “Video game retailers sure love leaking Ubisoft's surprise announcements.” When another user responded that they don’t believe the game is real, he added: “This tweet won't age well.”
Schreier is a reliable writer who’s well-placed to have inside information on in-development Ubisoft projects. We know that the French publisher is planning some kind of Ubisoft Forward livestream later in the year, so this seems like a likely candidate for that. Exactly what the title will entail, though, remains to be seen. Is it a remake of the original, or the aforementioned 2009 title? It sounds like all will be revealed soon.

Yesssss! These were some of my favourite games on the PS2! I’d love to play through them again on my PS4 or even my switch. Great news!
I love PoP games. I hope that it is true.
I have fond memories of the first Prince of Persia, but never got into the sequels. Hopefully, Ubisoft doesn't find a way to screw this up.
Hoping for a Remake of the PS2 one.
Nice, I played through PoP The Forgotten Sands on my PS3 a few weeks back and had a blast with it. Great series. Have the HD trilogy disc somewhere too, might have to dig that out.
I hope it is the PS3 reboot! What a beautiful game, done with today's technology, it could be magical!
I’d take other. The reboot could have slightly more interactive story but had an excellent art story and with awesome story/characters. I tried to squeeze out all of the wonderful banter between the two of them I could. We just need some real Prince of Persia that isn’t gonna be another Ubisoft open-world game at this point. I’m very hopeful for what this could be, but a little nervous about what U I sort might to do it
Id love a remake or brand new Prince Of Persia but personally I'm hoping it's a remake of the reboot.
I would be totally stoked if they remake PoP 2008 then give it a proper sequel. I liked that game quite a bit. The Sands trilogy was really good too, but has not aged well.
Don't do that, don't give me hope.
The Sands of Time was one of my all time favourites. Fingers crossed for a remake.
And it'll probably be a 100 hour plus open world with live service elements.
I really hope this is the sand of time remake, or better, the sand of time trilogy
Using “F*ckingNothing.gif” did nothing for this article except to come across as unprofessional and inconsiderate. I see this as a little bit of a trend lately here. Please stop it.
Man people need to do their research. This is a PoP VR game. It was already announced. It’s PoP The Dagger of Time. It’s an escape room game. Lol.
yes, please. I love PoP since first PC game. ☺️
Hope it is the original trilogy with updated controls and animations among other quality of life improvements as well as graphics of course. I have very fond memories of playing them back then, but I know they are showing their age and could use a spruce up.
Here's to hoping it's a remake of the original game.
Knowing Ubisoft they add the Prince to Assassin's Creed or something
@doctommaso are you being sarcastic?
@Boucho11 No.
I remember the original on the Amiga. That was "Photo-realism" back then.
I hope this is accurate! One of my favorite PS2 games of all time!
What about the scrapped ps3 or was it early ps4 game that this very site posted on not that long ago? It would be cool if it was that tbh. Looked good. I have the HD trilogy so yeah, it still holds up for me.
@doctommaso well you should be.
@Boucho11 You think it's my problem, but it's actually yours — you just don't know it because more people in our society now accept it. But morality and behavior shouldn't merely be governed by what society currently dictates; there is a "right" thing to do. That aside, if you feel that kind of language is appropriate, I'm sorry but you simply have no class or consideration. Foul language offers nothing of value except to willingly come across as disgusting and rebellious. There are better and more descriptive ways to say things with words that are not offensive. It's one thing for people to use such language in speech for emphasis, which I also don't like, but it's another to show up in professional web pages and publications. Never mind the fact that kids read this site, too.
I know you won't see it my way, because you are not willing to honestly examine why such language or other crude behavior is inappropriate.
End of discussion — I won't be reading your responses from here on out.
@doctommaso i agree with u! One thing i always liked about this site was that it was clean. Not so much lately. And people can roll their eyes at us saying this, but read the comment sections on sites that allow foul language. Just people being rude to other people and sounding dumb.
Oh yawn. So not at all proving there are next to no original ideas left in gaming now then, nor a complete lack of imagination. 🥱
@ellsworth004 Appreciate the supportive comments; couldn't agree more.
@doctommaso If you dont like the site, dont visit. Simple. Nobody is forcing your hand to come here and nobody is here for a lesson on morality and puritan values on a gaming website, and while I agree that people should be nicer to each other, in general, telling the site staff on how to run and not run their website is not your call. Go somewhere else that meets your strict values.
On Topic.. I HOPE this is a remake of Sands of Time but then again a Reboot could also be amazing, but either way, please be true.
@gmxs it’s precisely because I like and value this site that I expressed my concern about its direction. It’s my right to express my opinion, particularly as my visits here support this site via ad revenue, etc. If you don’t like people voicing an opinion, you’re the one that should get lost.
@doctommaso Yes I am going to get lost because someone on the internet says so. OK. I wasn't rude to you (unlike you just were, which is very strange and hypocritical considering your viewpoints expressed earlier in the comments) I definitely did not say you were not allowed an opinion, I provided a counter to your opinion with my own, thats how free and open discussion works, if you dont want/like to be challenged on controversial viewpoints you have expressed that is not my fault. Enjoy your day.
I always thought Ubishaft were stupid for letting the Prince of Persia IP lapse like they did, especially in a world that was becoming obsessed with twitch gaming experiences and infinite runners. The cel shaded reboot during the PS360 era was a solid game that took the right direction gameplay wise. Will gladly give another PoP game a look... after Ubishaft clean up their corporate act.
Actually was playing Forgotten Sands lately and it reminded me how over due for a another game this franchise is. Could 100% go for a new PoP game.
Hi there fellow gamers. I still remember when I got my copy of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on PS2.
I walked in my local gaming store and saw the game in the low price section.
I looked at the box art and saw the back of it and said: "This look like my kind of game. And it´s cheap". It was 30€ at the time, so I bought it.
30€ very well spend. It became one of my favourite franchises and it is still one of my top 5 PS2 of all time.
And I still have my copy alongside those top 5 games.
So yeah, a remake would be very welcomed indeed. Or a brand new entry in this very awesome and very dormant franchise.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
