At one level some ten years in the past, Ubisoft has seemingly labored on a Prince of Persia reboot that we’re simply now seeing for the primary time.
Ubisoft by no means formally introduced the Prince of Persia undertaking in query, or occasion trace that the sequence is making a comeback. But, based on the resume of not less than one former Ubisoft developer, the writer was certainly engaged on a Prince of Persia undertaking between 2010-2011.
The LinkedIn web page for Christophe Prelot, a former degree artist at Ubisoft Montreal, has the undertaking listed, although not its full title. A video displaying gameplay footage was uploaded to YouTube all the way in which again in 2012.
It’s known as Prince of Persia Redemption, and the channel liable for it has no different movies. Another trace that that is legit is a YouTube remark from 2018 by Marc-Andre Belleau, a Ubisoft technical designer who’s been with the corporate since 2009. Belleau’s LinkedIn web page doesn’t checklist the names of tasks he labored on, nonetheless, nevertheless it’s clear he recognised the game when he got here throughout the video.
The footage, which you’ll watch beneath in full, seems to be too good for a game meant for Xbox 360/PS3. This was doubtless a goal render, however the character strikes and world destruction are all improbable, even by fashionable requirements. If you ignore the visuals for a bit, this might very effectively stand by itself as a contemporary game with some tweaks.
