popsands5

After finishing up work on 2008′s Prince of Persia, Ubisoft Montreal pulled the game development equivalent of its previous prince’s sand-based snafu and took a trip back in series time with The Forgotten Sands.

Interview – Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands’ Thomas Simon

popsands5

Ubisoft delighted many by announcing a return to the Sands of Time storyline with its imminent Prince of Persia release The Forgotten Sands, moving back from the IP’s 2008 reboot to a time-line concluded in 2005 with The Two Thrones.

Prince of Persia’s “never die” buddy system in 2008 was roundly criticised for making the game too easy, but despite moving back to a harder core, Forgotten Sands has stepped outside of the property’s norm again with mass combat and a movie tie-in, sitting alongside the May release of Disney’s film adaptation, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

So, with Ubisoft playing real “sands of time” games with the franchise, is all well with the Prince? We chatted to lead game designer Thomas Simon to find out.
