Releasing on PS5 and PS4 in January of final 12 months, the sport attracted essential acclaim and plenty of love from those that performed it, however by no means made as huge an influence because it maybe deserved to. Nonetheless, having mentioned that, the sport not too long ago confirmed it is reached “properly over” 2 million gamers:
In a social put up, the participant rely determine is made official, and it comes alongside a tease of extra issues to return for the Prince of Persia collection.
Certainly, we already find out about side-scrolling roguelike The Rogue Prince of Persia, which is poised to return to consoles finally, and there is additionally the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake nonetheless in improvement.
Whether or not the put up is suggesting but extra is on the best way, it is arduous to say.
Earlier this 12 months, it was reported the sport had bought about 1.3 million copies in its first 12 months. Whereas that is to not be sniffed at, the staff was dispersed amongst different tasks inside Ubisoft reasonably than stored collectively, suggesting it wasn’t fairly performing properly sufficient for work to proceed.
