Hello Legion Gamers!

Bit of good news for Prince of Persia and/or Metroidivania genre fans! Today is the 18th of December, which means that only a month is left until we get the new Prince of Persia game from Ubisoft!

And they have been showcasing it for a while now! a week before last they shared the story trailer:


Looks like the main character Sargon has a thing about feathers same as Assassins do. Maybe it's a Ubisoft thing now 😅 And at the end of last week, they shared a gameplay trailer, too:


Looks promising so far, but remains to be seen if Ubisoft can pull it off, they do not make Metroidivania genre games that often. But if nothing else, it is going back to the classics and the way the original Prince of Persia first looked back in its pixel childhood. Even though the main character this time seems to be not the Prince himself, but one of his protectors.

As one of the main aspects of the series is manipulating time in both gameplay and story, I hope that the game will reflect that and take the best parts of great Metroidivanias like Hollow Knight (where is Silksong already?!) and Blasphemous and time mechanics from CONVERGENCE. But it's easy to mess that up, so remains to be seen how well Ubisoft manages to do this. And on a personal note, I hope that they use the Mirage approach and not roadmap all sorts of DLCs into this.

Either way, something exciting to look forward to at the beginning of next year. Will you put it on your wishlist?
