Ubisoft have announced that Prince of Persia is finally making a return, just not in the manner you might be thinking of, the latest escapade for the Prince from Persia is actually a VR experience, more specifically an escape room.

Developed by Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Prince of Persia: The Dagger of Time is for all ages. Two, three or four players team up and work together to solve puzzles and find a way out of a reimagined Fortress of Time. In the story, players are summoned by Kaileena, the Empress of Time. They are asked to help her to stop the evil plans of a Magi who is attempting to restore the sands to the Hourglass of Time and create an army of Sand Monsters. To successfully escape the fortress, players must use cooperative teamwork and problem-solving skills to complete objectives, utilizing powers such as time control from the dagger of time.

“Everyone has wished once to hold the incredible power to control time! Slow, pause or even rewind time when you most need it!” said Cyril Voiron, Executive Producer for Ubisoft’s Escape Games. “This is today made possible, only in VR, when you hold the Dagger of Time in our latest Larger-than-Life escape adventure.”

“After just two years in operation, we have now partnered with more than 300 locations around the globe,” said Benedikt Grindel, Managing Director of the German Ubisoft studios. “What started as a prototype became one of the largest distribution networks in the location-based entertainment market, which makes us really proud.”

Here in Australia, there are a few locations that support the Ubisoft Escape VR title, including VR Kingdom in Sydney, Untethered in Adelaide and Virtual World in Rockhampton. As this is not a traditional game release, you are best to contact the location of your choice, to see when they might be getting it.
