Prince of Persia: Dark
Babylon
A Reddit user claiming to work at Ubisoft has leaked some details of a game currently on development called Prince of Persia: Dark Babylon. The game will be announced at the PlayStation meeting in February, and will release for 2021 as a cross-gen game. This might suggest that the title will launch for PS5, Xbox Series X.
Prince of Persia: Dark Babylon’s story will take place after The Two Thrones in an alternate, “almost dystrophic” version of Babylon. According to the leak, players would be able to roam through the apocalyptic city.

The Reddit user also talks about the gameplay, he claims that similarly to previous Prince of Persia games, Ubisoft is creating something that appeals to older titles but feels somewhat different.
Suggesting that Prince of Persia: Dark Babylon is inspired by the newest God of War, players will take the role of an older Prince, and customization of the Prince’s armor and abilities are also expected. Players will be facing an evil version of the Prince that appears from a different timeline.
The leak ends by stating that no Splinter Cell game is being planned at the moment, the allegedly Ubisoft worker deleted his Reddit account, so skepticism is advised.
According to a blog post by Ubisoft Prince of Persia: Dark Babylon’s features a story set within The Sands Of Time canon and revolves around the Hourglass Chamber in the Fortress Of Time, which was last depicted in 2004’s Warrior Within.
That seems like a reassuringly deep cut, with the team apparently keen to recreate the look and feel of the more popular entries in the series. The game is played with teams of others and involves virtual climbing as well as the ability to stop, rewind, or fast-forward time; so it’s not just the Prince Of Persia name bumped onto any random VR game.
It’s been a decade now since the last proper Prince of Persia (The Forgotten Sands in 2010) and all we’ve had since then are remakes and an endless runner on mobile. But while that’s a shame its fading from the limelight has more to do with the success of Assassin’s Creed than anything else, whose first few games had similar gameplay and aesthetics.
Whether The Prince of Persia: Dark Babylon’s is a prelude to Ubisoft bringing back the franchise with a more traditional entry is impossible to say, but despite a few rumours here and there there’s been nothing to suggest they are.
