Prince of Persia remake listed for Switch by Guatemalan retailer

MAX, a retailer in Guatemala, has listed a Prince of Persia remake for Switch. The page doesn’t contain any information aside from a potential November launch month.
Bloomberg editor Jason Schreier has seemingly backed up the listing. After seeing the retailer page, Schreier said on Twitter, “Video game retailers sure love leaking Ubisoft’s surprise announcements”. And when one person responded to his remark by casting doubt on the news, Schreier responded with, “This tweet won’t age well.”
If the Prince of Persia remake is real, Ubisoft could choose to announce it during its Ubisoft Forward presentation in September.

Ubisoft to hold second Ubisoft Forward event in September
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Ubisoft will host a second Ubisoft Forward presentation in September, the company announced during a financial call today. Specifics regarding planned content for the show were not detailed.
This month’s Ubisoft Forward was light on new announcements and Nintendo news overall. In fact, the only Switch-related content was relegated to the pre-show, where we found out about DLC for Trials Rising. There was a small update on Just Dance 2020 as well which was only about a few new songs. Fans are still waiting for a status update on Gods & Monsters after it was announced at last year’s E3.
We’ll report back with the final date and time for the second Ubisoft Forward broadcast when we have it.

Ubisoft Forward live stream

In previous years, Ubisoft held an annual press conference at E3 2020. But since the event was entirely scrapped due to the coronavirus, the company shifted plans to an online presentation instead. The broadcast, known as Ubisoft Forward, kicks off today at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK / 9 PM in Europe. Some sort of pre-show should also be starting soon.
Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed all of the games that will be shown, so it’s unclear how much of the showcase will be relevant to Switch owners. Games like Gods & Monsters, Roller Champions, and Just Dance are possibilities.
You can watch Ubisoft Forward as it happens below. We’ll be reporting on any notable Nintendo-related news throughout the event.

Gods & Monsters – Ubisoft comments on leak, will have a new name, more news this summer
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
After an accidental leak yesterday, some Google Stadia users were able to try out an early build from Ubisoft’s Gods & Monsters. As it turns out, this was a version shown to the press at E3 2019, so it is significantly dated.
Ubisoft has since commented on the leak. Executive producer Marc-Alexis Cote told Kotaku that a lot has changed, including the name of the game. Additional news will follow at the end of summer.
Cote’s full statement reads:

Gods & Monsters dev build leaks, first early footage emerges
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
At E3 2019, Ubisoft revealed Gods & Monsters. The open-world action-adventure game, which has drawn a few comparisons to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is currently experiencing extended development after being delayed well beyond its planned February 2020 launch. It’s been a year since the original announcement and we’ve yet to see much of the project, but a new leak has given us a look at the title in action.
Today’s leak came about in a very unexpected way. It appears that an early development build briefly appeared on Google Stadia and a few users were actually able to get their hands on it. Clips show a big world to explore, a stamina meter like Breath of the Wild, combat, and more. However, it should be stressed that since this is a dev build, not all assets/elements are final, and there will be changes for the final release.
