With the exception of a mobile game, the Prince of Persia series has been dormant since 2010's The Forgotten Sands. Behind the scenes, though, Ubisoft has experimented with new games in the series. In 2012, a grainy off-screen screenshot emerged. Now, a YouTube video dating from the same year shows three minutes of footage from an aborted project called Prince of Persia: Redemption.The footage, which you can watch below, seems pretty legit. Aside from how obviously professional (and how obviously 2012) it looks, the fact that Ubisoft Assistant Technical Director Marc-Andre Belleau weighs in in the comment section is pretty conclusive. «Where did you get that?!» he wrote two years ago.Meanwhile, a thread on Resetera makes note of a LinkedIn profile belonging to Christophe Prelot, who worked as a 3D level artist on an untitled and cancelled Prince of Persia game between 2010 and 2011. That game was originally being developed for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. During 2010 and 2011 Ubisoft released the final two games in the Assassin's Creed Ezio trilogy: Brotherhood and Revelations.As a result, the footage below shares a fair bit with Assassin's Creed, though it's possible the studio was aiming for a more streamlined cinematic experience (think Uncharted, maybe).
