I'm playing the 2008 game currently and I'm impressed that Elika speaks Persian/Farsi when performing magic (usually stuff along the lines of "show us the way"). They also tied it into Zoroastrian mythology as well which was neat. Would be cool if future games tapped into the Shahnameh for inspiration.
I think they actually nailed the aesthetic in the 2008 game, but I'm still annoyed how in every iteration the Prince just looks like an average white guy, blue/green eyes and everything.

But yeah agreed. They could do a more fantastical/mystical game based on the Shahnameh stories (or just Persian mythology in general), would be a welcome change from the Medieval/Nordic/Greek themes we've had so much of.

So is this a remake of the remake?

Or is it a remake of the remake of the remake?

(they have rebooted this series quite a lot).

Didn't think Ubi had the IP still anyway.

Guatemala? Why is this even news?
Not sure why this is a question. This is a listing for an unannounced game. Retailer listings of unannounced games are quite often true. If Guatemalan retailers had some kind of exceptionally poor track record, then by now we'd have seen one or more other stories of fake games on Guatemalan sites and they'd be disregarded. So this should be considered as most likely accurate, and it's not like there are any Guatemala-exclusive games.

This is, therefore, just about confirmation of a Prince of Persia game, and you're asking why that's news.

Yeah...its gonna be a port/remaster of some sorts if the release date is Nov 2020.
I don't know much about game pricing in Guatemala, but it seems like a full-priced game. That'd be a bit of a tough sell for a remaster or a port of a single game (it could of course be a compilation, but the name suggests it's a single game and the price suggests it's not just a port or remaster).

sands of time would be an amazing remake. please be real.

08 was okay, I would not be particularly excited though.

So glad it's coming to Switch too. Well at least I hope so according to the listing.

Just give me Sands of Time HD (again). Ubisoft never managed to replicate the atmosphere again (PoP 08 is another kettle of fish) and I have no interest to see modern Ubisoft ruin the series.

isn't that art the one from reddit guy "don't believe me? here's artwork proof"?

i mean, it can be the PoP 1989 remake.
