Rumor: New Prince of Persia game details leaked (update: fake)

Why did you start this bullshit rummor on reddit in the first place?
Anyone who needed such confirmation should be embarrassed for being that gullible.
They never did.
Jordan had to licence it to them for every game.
I wish there was AT LEAST a rumor about Splinter Cell, not even that.
Not really the same thing. DMC is a Capcom-owned brand and considering they don't have a lot of current major IPs it makes sense they'd try to bring a big franchise from a couple of gens ago back. Plus Capcom had a very specific effort to try and westernise their IPs which failed, and they're now rolling the whole effort back and taking everything in-house. Ubisoft don't even own Prince of Persia and they have their own IP which is quite similar (so similar it began life as a spin-off) so it doesn't really make sense they would go back when they have plenty of strong in-house brands they could put the resources into instead.
I'm just making a statement considering it's not closed and people are still believing it
I like what I am reading. Leveling system like God of War sounds amazing. There has not been a Prince game for a while now.
And Feb PS Meeting eh. Very interesting. I hope it is real, because I would like this very much.
The only part that worries me is Cross Gen. Meaning it will not use true power of next gen sytem then. I guess would still be better to buy it on PS5 Xbox Series X than PS4... but ... yeah it won't be good to see out dated graphics on next gen. I always hate the first year of new consoles. Lots of Cross Gen games makes the launch titles on the new console very dated very fast.
It's not.
Anyway, close the thread please. This person is just trolling.
The guy who contacted me sounded believable and I also thought posting it would create some nice debate.
The IP belongs to its creator, Jordan Mechner.
EDIT - "© 2003-2005 Ubisoft Entertainment. All Rights Reserved. Based on Prince of Persia® created by Jordan Mechner. Prince of Persia is a trademark of Waterwheel Licensing LLC"
From the small print on PoP Trilogy PS3 on the PSN store:
I assume this company is owned by/was set up by Jordan Mechner to manage his IPs, as it owns the trademark on all his earlier titles and the Ubi PoP games (but I don't know how to check this).
EDIT - yes, that appears to be the case as he is listed as the director: https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ca/201005010361

Ubi has no interest in making new Prince of persia. They haven't bothered to even remaster and milk some money from older games.
wait, are you implying there is a new PoP project of some sort in the works?
Didn't Ubisoft just undergone a massive retooling of their games because the Tom Clancy IP is not exactly selling as much as they like? Considering the amount of games they delayed, sounds about the same to me.
SoT Era Prince of Persia is the last thing that needs to be revived, and I for god damn sure don't want to see games start taking heavy inspiration from GoW 2018.
If true that's a no from me, dog. In fact excuse me while retch violently in the corner. Hopefully it isn't.

Again, the key point being that Ubisoft do not own the Prince of Persia IP, as outlined in post #124.
Anyway, this topic is a massive nothing and should be closed.
One that's not imaginary bullshit would be a good start.
Hi, my real name is Todd Howard and I have some insights about a big new game you might be interested in. I'll PM you the details. Should create some nice debate.
Yeah if real it would immediately battle Godfall for most dumb, uninspired, AAA-ass-AAA title I've ever heard.
