'Prince of Persia,' Ubisoft's long-missing star, returns for a 'Sands of Time' remake

The original game is a milestone in platformer adventures, going on to inspire "Another World," "Flashback," and other similar platformer adventures. The original "Tomb Raider" from 1996, one of the pioneers of 3D technology, drew heavy inspiration from Mechner's work. And after the critical and commercial success of the "Sands of Time" trilogy, Ubisoft Montreal attempted to evolve the combat and parkour formula of the series into an open-world formula. Through the team's research, they became fascinated with the history of assassins. The project eventually morphed into a new intellectual property, "Assassin's Creed," a series that has since become the centerpiece of Ubisoft's catalogue.
