Prince of Persia

Created by Jordan Mechner in 1989, the series first established a fluidity of animation unprecedented on home computers, before becoming, with 2003's The Sands of Time, one of the models for 3D action-adventure games. Rewinding time serves there both as a mechanic and as a narrative device.

After a trilogy and several reboots, Ubisoft brought the franchise back in 2024 with The Lost Crown, a critically acclaimed 2D metroidvania. The remake of The Sands of Time, announced in 2020, was however cancelled in January 2026.
