With only a few months before the game's launch, Prince Of Persia: Prodigy's creative director Jean-Christophe Guyot decided to reveal a little bit of info about its story and universe.
The next Prince Of Persia sequel will take place in the same sands of time universe, but will feature a new hero.
"We had a whole story with the previous trilogy, and Prince of Persia is a general universe where several different stories can unfold," said Guyot. "We're starting afresh, in the same universe, and we wanted to bring something new while keeping what worked before. We introduce a new Prince, who won't start as a prince, more a drifter and adventurer, lost in the desert. He'll be confronted by a lot of fantasy settings, as opposed to Assassin's Creed, which was more realistic. Here he will come to a land and be engulfed in the conflict between two ancient gods, in this very specific region of Persia. It's based on an old Persian religion, Zoroastrianism, and the battle between light and darkness."
"Our hero finds himself caught up in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness: the god of light, Ormazd, versus his brother, Ahriman, the god of darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life â€" an act which threatens to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness."
