Ubisoft‘s highly anticipated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake will bring significant changes to one of its main characters, Farah. Game director Michael McIntyre revealed that the new version will not change the original story but will enhance the player’s experience by deepening character interactions, especially between Farah and the Prince.
In the original game, Farah played a key role but lacked depth and agency. The remake aims to modernize her character, making her a true companion with a background, desires, and personal goals. McIntyre emphasized that Farah would have more interactions with the Prince, allowing players to explore their relationship more deeply.
Creative Director Bio Jade Adam Granger highlighted the importance of giving Farah more presence in the game. She mentioned that Farah will be a fully-fledged character with her own needs and motivations, making her a more relatable and essential part of the narrative. This modernization will make the affection between Farah and the Prince feel more genuine and earned.
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is set for release in 2026, following multiple delays. Fans can expect a richer story experience and a more significant role for Farah, while still enjoying the classic tale they love.
