<p><strong>Update #1 (Sun 6th Sep, 2020 07:30 BST):</strong> According to Bloomberg’s video game reporter, Jason Schreier, Ubisoft’s <strong>Prince of Persia Remake</strong> will supposedly be revealed at next week’s Ubisoft Forward, airing on 10th September.</p>
<p>Schreier shared this information on the most recent <a class="external" href="https://maximumfun.org/episodes/triple-click/summer-news-roundup/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Triple Click podcast</a>.

<p><em>“…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>

<p><a class="external" href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-prince-of-persia-remake-announcement-is-planned-for-ubisoft-forward-journalist-claims/">VGC</a> has also backed up Schreier with its “own Ubisoft sources”, which indicate the claim is correct.</p>

<p><strong>Original story (Thu 20th Aug, 2020 03:15 BST):</strong> According to an online and local retailer in Guatemala known as “<a class="external" href="https://www.max.com.gt/catalogsearch/result/?category=&q=Prince+Of+Persia+Remake">MAX</a>“, a <strong>Prince of Persia</strong> <strong>Remake</strong> is coming to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 this November.</p>

<p>Bloomberg’s video game reporter, Jason Schreier, has seemingly backed up this listing <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1296125854557392899">over on Twitter</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Video game retailers sure love leaking Ubisoft’s surprise announcements”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>One individual said they <em>didn’t</em> believe it and the industry insider then told them their tweet wouldn’t age well.</p>
<p>So, what is this supposed remake? Video game historian and Nintendo Life contributor Liam Robertson thinks it <em>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>
