However, two notable leakers by the names of Zhuge and Shinobi have since chimed in on the supposed remake, with their comments stirring the rumor mill even further. Taking to ResetEra, Zhuge claimed that “There isn’t a PoP trilogy remake,” seemingly shutting down any and all further debate about whether the game truly existed. That was, however, until Shinobi responded to a fan looking to confirm the rumor was definitely fake, with the leaker simply stating “In some ways.” Naturally, this has led many fans on ResetEra and Reddit to speculate about what this could mean, with many believing that the tease could indicate that, while no officialPrince of Persiatrilogyremake is in the works, something else might be.
Many users seem to be positing that the project could, in fact, be aPrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake, with the two photos included in the leak seeming to center around the classic game. “I reckon it’s just a singular Sands of Time remake, so the rumors about the trilogy are bull, but their’s some truth to the SoT part,” claimed one Redditor, while another posted “Imo it’s not the sands of time trilogy remake, it’s a remake of a single game, THE sands of time.”
Zhuge and Shinobi’s comments are definitely up to interpretation, however, the claims have led many to get excited about a potential return to the series. Hopefully, whatever the title turns out to be, it can live up to fans' lofty expectations anddeliver aPrince of Persiatitle worthy of the series' enduring legacy.
