Update #1 (Sun 6th Sep, 2020 07:30 BST):<\/strong> According to Bloomberg’s video game reporter, Jason Schreier, Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia Remake<\/strong> will supposedly be revealed at next week’s Ubisoft Forward, airing on 10th September.<\/p>\n

Schreier shared this information on the most recent Triple Click podcast<\/a>. Here’s what he had to say, (thanks, Pure Xbox<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\n

“…they had been planning a new Ubisoft Forward, where they were going to announce a bunch of games like the Prince of Persia remake that was leaked a couple of weeks ago. That [event] is planned, it was announced today as being for next week, September 10th.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

VGC<\/a> has also backed up Schreier with its “own Ubisoft sources”, which indicate the claim is correct.<\/p>\n

To find out more about the next Ubisoft Forward, view the full schedule in our previous post<\/a>. You can also expect to learn more about Immortals: Fenyx Rising<\/a><\/strong> (formerly known as Gods & Monsters<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Original story (Thu 20th Aug, 2020 03:15 BST):<\/strong> According to an online and local retailer in Guatemala known as “MAX<\/a>“, a Prince of Persia<\/strong> Remake<\/strong> is coming to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 this November.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg’s video game reporter, Jason Schreier, has seemingly backed up this listing over on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“Video game retailers sure love leaking Ubisoft’s surprise announcements”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One individual said they didn’t<\/em> believe it and the industry insider then told them their tweet wouldn’t age well.<\/p>\n

So, what is this supposed remake? Video game historian and Nintendo Life contributor Liam Robertson thinks it might<\/em> be based on the “original” Prince of Persia game (if it is real). Of course, there have been many reboots over the years as well.<\/p>\n
