Reddit forum user under a pseudonym I discovered an eight-year-old video on YouTube demonstrating what appears to be a canceled game in the Prince of Persia universe.
The three-minute video Prince of Persia Redemption - this is the title (possibly working) of the project - dates back to March 2012. Before discovery, it had about 150 views, and at the time of publication of this material - already more than three thousand.

The events of the video take place in a densely populated Middle Eastern city, which is attacked by a huge land kraken. Throughout the video, the main character runs towards the monster and ends up right on top of it.
The local Prince, like 15 years ago, can run along walls (and also cling to them) and rewind time. In addition, the protagonist has the ability to literally drain the souls of his enemies, but this trick does not work on the mini-boss.
History is silent about what ultimately happened to Prince of Persia Redemption, but two years ago there was a video Ubisoft assistant technical director Marc-Andre Belleau: βWhere did you get this?β
