Enhanced Prince of Persia: Realistic Visual, Mature Content Warning
Ubisoft has largely completed development on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, leading the ESRB to rate it as appropriate for players aged 13 and older. According to the ESRB’s rating summary, the game contains blood, partial nudity, sexual themes, and violence. The updated visuals emphasize realism. From a third-person perspective, players navigate platforms, solve puzzles, and evade traps while battling sand-transformed soldiers and monsters. Combat includes sword clashes, cries of pain, and blood splatter effects. The ESRB also described a 2D side-scrolling sequence that recreates pools of blood when the prince dies. The ESRB summary also describes a love scene with brief glimpses of a woman’s buttocks while she and the prince are in bed kissing. While her breasts are not visible, the ESRB suggests that the scene implies sexual content due to its context.
