Prince of Persia 3 was in development a few years ago and then cancelled

Post by FluffyQuack »

Jordan Mechner revealed that he tells the story of the unannounced and cancelled Prince of Persia 3 in his Replay book:

[...] the book tells my own story of how Prince of Persia 3 got green-lit, then cancelled — twice: first in 1993, then in 2019.
He mentions he started making a game in 2016, so that might be when POP3 started development (for the second time). The blog posts also mention that parts of the same dev team went on to make the recently announced Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

It's pretty surreal that after all this time a sequel to POP2 was actually in development. Too bad it got cancelled. It wasn't even announced and we never got to see anything of it.
