A leak from an internal Ubisoft presentation suggests a major change in the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, with Farah no longer being a character to be protected, but a fighter capable of defending herself.
In the 2003 game, Farah accompanied the Prince but could die in combat, resulting in immediate failure. According to the leaked documents, this mechanic will be removed:
- Farah will fight independently using her bow.
- Cooperative attacks between her and the Prince are planned.
- Combat has been modernized with new acrobatic moves and improved time powers.
- Bosses and enemies have been redesigned to fit this new system.
The remake, initially entrusted to Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai, was taken over by Ubisoft Montreal after the very negative reception of the first trailer. A release is now planned for 2026, with the help of Ubisoft Toronto.
