Major Game Anniversaries in October 2018
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time – 15th Anniversary
The Sands of Time remains the high point in the Prince of Persia series and is regarded by many as one of the best action-adventure games of the last couple of decades. It came to PS2, Xbox, PC, and Gamecube on Oct. 28, 2003, and was remastered as part of a trilogy for the subsequent generation of consoles.
The series, while still great with the likes of The Warrior Within, steadily decreased in popularity and quality over the next few years and we haven’t seen a new Prince of Persia game since The Forgotten Sands in 2010. That might have been due to the rise of other games in the genre, such as Uncharted, the Tomb Raider reboot, and Assassin’s Creed. It’d be exciting to see the series return soon, however, to see how Ubisoft see the franchise now. Ubisoft’s Chief Creative Officer, Serge Hascoet, even said that bringing back the series is more a matter of finding the means, rather than desire.
