Ubisoft Bringing Remake Of Prince of Persia 2 To Mobile Devices

Ubisoft is readying a remake of the 1993 Prince of Persia sequel for smartphones and tablets.

Today, Ubisoft released a trailer for the game, entitled Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame. The video actually begins with a brief look at the original 1993 Prince of Persia 2 (this new remake drops the "2" from the title), and then segues into new footage of the mobile game, which is the familiar 2D platforming-and-swordfighting formula, but with dramatically improved visuals.

There is no release date confirmed for the U.S., but the trailer says that its "coming soon to smartphones and tablets," so we should expect both iOS and Android versions, hopefully.

So let's get to what's important. When will this hit Steam, XBLA, PSN and eShop? Like the Prince of Persia remake? Btw, I very much approve of these remakes that reuse the Sands of Time trilogy assets. I think that's smart of Ubi Soft. I remember giving Shadow and the Flame a shot - I believe you could unlock it in the Wii SKU of Forgotten Sands (SUCH a great game; much better than the HD version). Seemed neat, but I am no fan of the rotoscoped animation and syrupy controls in the original games. I'm looking forward to this remake... when it hits consoles though. Screw this tablet and mobile noise.

Could be interesting. Most likely will not be purchasing this, but I will keep an eye on this remake and see how it turns out.

Well i'm gonna keep my eye on this and if it turns up to be good and makes an appearance on Steam... Oh yeah i can already imagine it.

The trailer looked really nice, especially for a mobile game, but please Ubisoft, give us a full sequel!
