Ubisoft today announced they’re remakingPrince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, 2003’s fun action-platformer about a wall-running lad with a magical time-rewinding dagger. Seems they’re winding time forwards on the game, fully redoing art, getting folks into motion capture suits for new animations, and even getting the Prince’s original actor back in for a new performance. It’s coming in January under the imaginative namePrince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake. Here, check out the trailer:

Bit of a different look, that, going from bright and kinda cartoony style to something a bit grittier but not quite ‘realistic’. Curious. What I’m most interested in is something that’s hard to judge in the trailer: the action. Even for its time, the original’s combat felt rough compared to its peers, so I hope that’s a bit fancier. I still remember the original fondly.

Our boy Brendy recently declared the original Sands Of Time one ofthe best games with time travel. Rewinding time with the dagger to dodge attacks or properly land jumps is fun and all, but it has a nice bonus narrative twist. Brendy explained:

Sands Of Time Remake is coming to PC viaUplayand the Epic Games Store on the 21st of January, 2021. It’ll also be on PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbone.
