Prince of Persia Remake - Leaks are Live for September!

Apart from suffering from franchise sickness (the inability to invent and to rely on established game IPs), one other thing Ubisoft struggles with is keeping secrets. Reveals from their titles tend to always make their way to the internet before official game shows. Now, this strike of carelessness has struck once again as leaks for a so-called 'Prince of Persia' remake are live and viral. Let's see what's going on. 

Here's what Twitter user 'KenXyro' found on the internet: 

For those unaware, Prince of Persia is a classic video game franchise created in 1989. Developed by Ubisoft since then, the Iranian prince has found himself in multiple titles across a variety of platforms. The titles are mainly based on action-adventure story-driven gameplay, packing mechanics such as platforming, stealth and hand to hand combat. Some have called it in the past, Assassin's Creed set in Iran. 

The last title in the series was 2018's, relatively unsuccessful, Prince of Persia: Escape by Ubisoft. According to the leak above, a remake is inbound for the final stand of the PS4 together with the Nintendo Switch - no details are present for a possible Xbox or PC release. 

What's really got the community scratching its head is a simple question - which one? Ubisoft has tried to reboot the series twice so far - which title exactly will they be remaking? 

Some have guessed at one of the original trilogy titles. Personally, my only exposure to the series has been the movie and a small PSP game I used to enjoy when I wasn't playing God of War. My only worry, as someone not too involved in the series, is why now? Why not wait for the PS5 and fully utilize that hardware for a remake instead of the PS4, as that would be more graphically impressive? 

Otherwise, a trailer or announcement is expected soon, probably in September for a Fall release.
