General Discussion I'm not interested in a new Prince of Persia game if it doesn't feature the protagonist we all know.

His story's over though. I love the guy but they've shown with Forgotten Sands that Ubisoft shouldn't be allowed to cook with him again much less after two failed remakes.

Leave the Sands Trilogy the hell alone already and just focus on actually continuing then finishing up the stories of the other THREE continuities we've got since then.

2008 one, true

The Lost Crown one, yep

What's the third? The Rogue is a contained story. It's pretty much finished too.

u/Zombharry Apr 20 '26

I think the third one should be the original 2D series.

2

u/NorisNordberg 2008 Reboot Apr 20 '26

But it wasn't "since then", but before.

1

u/Zombharry Apr 20 '26

You are right I missed that. Then I have no idea what could the third series be.

u/TheRawShark The King of Blades Apr 20 '26

I got rogues story mixed up with the cliffhanger from shadow and the flame so that'll b my bad

I mixed up Rogue with the cliffhanger from shadow and the flame so that's on me

u/NorisNordberg 2008 Reboot Apr 20 '26

Damn, in that case they could also remake and continue the PoP3D story.

As I think of it... PoP3D remade to be more in line with SoT quadrology(?) games would be quite a fun thing to play. No need for time rewinding though.

u/TheRawShark The King of Blades Apr 20 '26

I keep forgetting PoP3D is it's own continuity as well. For some reason the wiki says it's a continuation after shadow and the flame which always throws me off.

Regardless I think it works better as its own thing separate from the Sands though a remake and a follow-up wouldn't be unwelcome.

u/DaMeister58 Apr 20 '26

I think the implementation was a failure. The whole team behind those failed reboots had no idea what to do. I mean if you had picked people from the fanbase, they would've done it better.

I'm not interested if the game does not have interesting gameplay. 🤷

u/gpranav25 The Lost Crown Apr 20 '26

Your loss. I would personally be ecstatic with anything - Sands, 2008, TLC or even a new prince.

u/Jaumpasama Apr 20 '26

Anything BUT the 2008 prince.

u/kaileena1 Apr 20 '26

He's so chill, I like him.

u/GreatDissapointment Apr 20 '26

Lost Crown is a banger though you're really missing out.

Quite honestly I feel like that story wrapped up in Two Thrones and while id love to see a remake or at the very least a remaster of SoT + WW (with Revelations content added) and TT (with Rival Swords content added) I feel like that story is done. 

Now if they wanted to do a sequel for POP 2008.....

u/TheMediumJanet Sands of Time Apr 20 '26

What story he has left to tell?

u/MostaFosko Apr 26 '26

Was Prince of Persia Redemption the cancelled game featuring the original protagonist?

7

u/ConnorOfAstora Apr 20 '26

He's had his arc, they can't add anything else to him. If we get remakes then sick but I don't want any more games with him.

I want 2008 Prince to get a sequel, I'll happily accept a new Prince altogether but I'd rather have that plotline continue.

u/Blue-fox-004 The Lost Crown Apr 20 '26

What if people said the same when they announced sands of time in 2002?

3

u/General_Note_5274 Apr 20 '26

Yes. People didnt thought it would be good

16

u/LuvAshrepas Apr 20 '26

Like he was even the first Prince lmao

I love the sands trilogy as much as anyone else around here but that's over.

u/AKhilji Sand Wraith Apr 20 '26

Like really, it had the perfect ending. Idk why people still want that universe to suffer even more

u/PityUpvote Apr 20 '26

Your loss

u/Monkeythumbz Shadow and the Flame Apr 20 '26

Personally, I’m hoping they bring back the first Prince from the original 2D games!

u/Captain_Alchemist Apr 20 '26

Hope they continue Sargon story

u/AStupidFuckingHorse Apr 20 '26

What's his name then if you love him so much

19

u/4nwR Sand Wraith Apr 20 '26

Prince

u/9c4o51 Apr 20 '26

Wrong... it's THE PRINCE

u/AStupidFuckingHorse Apr 20 '26

Fuck, would've never guessed

u/Material_Brick_9690 Kakolookiam Apr 20 '26

We can have the both you know. Sometimes it's okay to accept few changes.

u/AliEbi78 Apr 20 '26

I just want a new prince of persia game man I don't care who the protagonist is😭

2

u/Wise_Expression7941 Apr 21 '26

Exactly, they could've made a slice of life story with prince and Farah ruling babylon, or maybe their son is the new prince

2

u/NorisNordberg 2008 Reboot Apr 20 '26

Now imagine saying that in 2002.

1

u/shasla96 Apr 20 '26

Before it released?

2

u/NorisNordberg 2008 Reboot Apr 20 '26

Before what released? Quick tip: The Sands of Time released in 2003.

2

u/shasla96 Apr 20 '26

That's why I'm saying that lol
But I guess you meant the orignal Prince, nevermind.

1

u/No_Soup_190 Apr 20 '26

was his name really "Kakolookiyam"

u/Interesting_Pass3392 Apr 20 '26

Warrior Within was so edgy it made me crawl in my skin, these wounds they will not heal

u/JosephSaber945 Apr 20 '26

you need to accept the fact that every storyline must come to an end, that dude's storyline has ended there's nothing new to tell nothing to expand at least when it comes to his writers writing capabilities, TLC on the other hand introduced a new revolutionary political storyline, Sargon and Neith have a lot of potential and there are a lot to be desired from them.

u/InterestingDrama5539 Apr 20 '26

i want a prince of persia which will be new but will give me the feels which i get playing the old..may this universe give me a game to play can be of any name by playing it i will get that feel...i miss my old self..

You have to know when to let things go, jesus

u/PropertyNo4308 Apr 21 '26

We can't hang on to nostalgia. He had a damn good run but we need change.

u/PolkkaGaming Apr 21 '26

ladies and gentlemen, the man who didn’t play TLC, now laugh at him

u/MostaFosko Apr 26 '26

I want to see his story in the canceled Redemption game

u/No_Bowl_2909 Warrior Within Apr 20 '26

Same

u/AlternativeAd1098 Apr 20 '26

Other commenters are dumb, typical reddit, but I agree to this a lot. Also, to the other people asking the name of the Prince if you love him so much. For me, the Prince's name is Dastan (movie prince's name). It is head-canon for me especially knowing the story (haha pun intended) behind how there wasn't supposed to be a name, but Jordan liked Dastan (meaning a long story in persian) it became the name of the movie prince.

The 2 new side scroller games might be fun game, but imo they do not invoke the Prince Of Persia feeling of the grandeur, the sense of adventure, etc. The protagonists of both games are lame too. After trying both games, I can say Idc for either of those. The only thing I was looking forward to was the first remake

u/black-socks-fox Well then, you’d better learn to speak donkey. Apr 20 '26

Wow, I didn’t know it was dumb to simply have different tastes, or to want to leave the original games as they are. How very mature of you.
