Last summer, the company shared that the game was in “the conception phase” of development, which consisted of “building up the team, defining priorities, developing prototypes and testing gameplay elements.” The remake was thus in its embryonic stages a year ago and seems to be making smoother progress nowadays.
When the Sands of Time remake was first revealed, the project seemed to be a fairly standard reimagining with revamped art, motion-captured animations, and all the other technical flourishes that might not have been possible two decades ago. The updated art proved to be divisive, although, we still don’t know what the rebooted remake will look like outside of a brief candle-lifespan-related clip embedded above.
To tide us over until then,Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown(the Metroidvania one) andThe Rogue Prince of Persia(the roguelike one, duh) are both getting major updates soon.
