Ahead of E3, Ubisoft teases new Prince of Persia game

Ubisoft employee tweets picture teasing new game and then deletes entire Twitter account.

Yesterday, a Ubisoft engineer tweeted an image that appears to tease that the publisher is working on an all-new Prince of Persia game.

The tweet, from Ubisoft Reflections engineer Drew James, included an image showing off the various versions of the Prince, with a question mark over the last slide. It also asked, "What's next for Prince of Persia?" James' entire Twitter account has since been removed, though VGLeaks and NeoGAF were able to capture the tweet in question. Ubisoft has not commented on the matter since.

The image's arrival comes just days after a French website claimed that Ubisoft was working on a new 2D Prince of Persia game using Rayman Legends' UbiArt Framework engine. The last official word from Ubisoft on the Prince of Persia franchise came in June 2013, when Ubisoft marketing executive Tony Key said the brand has a "really strong legacy."

The most recent entry in the Prince of Persia series was 2010's Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii, as well as DS and PSP.

If Ubisoft has a new Prince of Persia game in the works, it could be announced during the company's E3 media briefing on Monday, June 9 at 3 p.m. PDT. GameSpot will be in attendance, bringing you all the news as it happens.

I'd really like to see a sequel to the rebooted, cell-shaded Prince of Persia. That game was really good, actually.

all the characters in the POP series don't look like persians, they look more Arabians and Europeans than Persians, the eye colors must be brown not blue, the hair must be black not blond or similar to that,the skin must be white not bright black, the clothes prince wear is'nt something like Persian cultural .


and all this time they(the devs and ubi) deceived you about this , they better change the name of the game to prince of Arabia or Europe or in the next games make the characters more like Persians.

The prince can also manipulate time itself, this is not actually possible; its one more thing they deceived you about. Speak up and make them stop!!

<< LINK REMOVED >> the way you say. its like making a fantasy game about apaches and change the skin of apaches to black or white and say to yourself that im using my imagination, and ppl will love this game.


there are some aspects and elements in making something fantasy that you can't change them unless you have some explanation for that.


and yeah , speak up and make them stop .

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> While I don't know how a picture from 2007 relates to these games that obviously take place in a centuries old age (when I doubt the skin/eye/hair colors were not as mixed as today), I also don't bother to care as much as whenamancriez.

For some reason I see any effort to make a new Prince of Persia to be tarnished by comparisons to the AC series.. I think the only way round it would be to do something completely different.. I remember reading a rumour of a PoP game to be created using the Rayman Legends engine.. Which would work, I guess, but if not then I wouldn't mind a sequel to the 2008 entry.. I kinda liked that game

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >>With all due respect Jake did look the part ( especially if you consider the various iterations of the prince through the SoS Saga) it was up to the writers to do justice to the story and character, sadly, like almost every other game to live action adaption- we know how that turned out.

<< LINK REMOVED >> As much as I hate to ruin this genius joke, they didn't show every design of the Prince since they were going for one design per series. Forgotten Sands is apart of the Sands of Time trilogy and Warrior Within and Two Thrones incarnations of him are also absent since they already had hist first design from SoT repping that series.

Guess this is the new thing... Post a Tweet then delete it (or in this case the account) making it appear it was an accident or unauthorized.

My fav PoP was Warrior Within, but I think i'm in the minority here :/ I also liked the latest installement, nothing great but an enjoyable game nontheless. I'm sure the next game, will be fun too.
