I was first apprehensive when I heard that the Prince of Persia series was getting the silver screen treatment. Video games to movies, yeah we have been here before. The first trailer piqued my interest, the latest made me want watch this. Walt Disney is a the parents of the cartoon mouse, but they also have huge pockets and can give the high budget treatment a story like this really needs. If you would have told me 5 years ago that the two gay cowboys were going to be an Oscar winning Joker and the Prince of Persia, I would have kicked you in the balls.
In a rather vague press release, Ubisoft has announced a new Prince of Persia title, called “The Forgotten Sands”. They really don’t say much more than that. Really. Don’t believe me? It’s a short ass press release:
New Adventure in the Prince of Persia® Sands of Time Series Debuts May 2010
LONDON, UK – November 30, 2009 – Today Ubisoft announced that Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands™ video game is in development and is scheduled to be released May 2010 for consoles and handhelds. This new instalment in the critically-acclaimed franchise marks the return to the Prince of Persia® Sands of Time storyline. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands™ will feature many of the fan-favorite elements from the original series as well as new gameplay innovations that gamers have come to expect from the Prince of Persia brand.
The idea of Sands and “fan-favorite elements” makes me slightly happy in the nether-regions, considering that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is one of my absolute most favorite games of all time. I’m a fan, and it’s my favorite, so hopefully Ubisoft is putting two and two together and releasing a true sequel to the game.
