'''Sands of Time Trilogy'''
{{quote|''"Most people think time is like a river, that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you - they are wrong. [[Timey-Wimey Ball|Time is an ocean in a storm]]. You may wonder who I am and why I say this. Sit down, and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard..."''}}
 
A new [[Continuity Reboot]] game series was created, beginning with ''The Sands of Time''. Originally Mechner intended it to be a vague prequel to the other games, but his input was left out of ''Warrior Within'', which firmly established it as a new continuity. The new series is also well-known for popularizing [[Le Parkour]] moves as a refinement to the [[Platformer]] genre, something that has been duplicated to a limited extent in several recent ninja-themed (or, you know, [[Assassin's Creed|assassin-themed]]) games.

{{quote|''"What is one grain of sand in the desert, one grain amongst the storm?"''}}
 
[[Prince of Persia (2008 video game)|Has its own page]]. A new game, simply ''Prince of Persia'' is another [[Continuity Reboot]]. It made radical changes to the platforming, similar to [[Assassin's Creed]]. The new game was given a [[Art Evolution|new art style]], similar to [[Cel Shading]], to give the impression of a colorful "Arabian Nights" story book feel, compared to the more realistic feel of the Sands of Time trilogy. Combat was also reworked. Rather than facing hordes of [[Mooks]] as in previous games, it instead focuses upon 1 of 4 boss monsters, each with a distinct personality and [[Backstory]].
 
'''The Sands of Time Return'''
Line 67 ⟶ 65:
** [[Spiritual Predecessor]]: ''[[Tomb Raider]]'''s gameplay clearly borrows from ''Prince of Persia''; specifically, the way running/walking, [[Spikes of Doom]] and falling platforms are handled.
* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: ''Prince Of Persia 2'' has crushing walls in its later levels, some of which are situated in inescapable pits under [[Fake Platform|Fake Platforms]].
* [[Warrior Prince]]
