comment |
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is the collective title of four Prince of Persia games (PS3/360/PC, PSP, DS and Wii), released by Ubisoft in 2010 alongside the movie adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It disregards the Continuity Reboot of the the game released two years earlier in favor of new chapters in the Sands of Time trilogy set between Sands of Time and Warrior Within. All four games feature entirely different stories with different characters, locations and plots, rather than being multi-platform adaptations of the same game. In the home console version, for example, the Prince fights to save his brother's kingdom and the game features Elemental Powers, while the Wii version shows the Prince exploring a ruined kingdom overtaken by a sentient plant with the help of a genie. |

Anthology: The different versions of the game result in this. Despite all having the same title, The Forgotten Sands covers four different adventures the Prince experienced after killing the Vizier but before discovering that the Dahaka was coming for him. Except one is a Stealth Sequel to The Two Thrones which places it after the Prince had killed the Dahaka. That aside, the exact order these games transpire isn't stated, making this trope more prominent. |

Non-Indicative Name: As a subtitle, The Forgotten Sands isn't really applicable to any of these games. The closest would be the "next-gen" / PC version, where Solomon's Army emerges from sand, but the army's existence is not treated as being forgotten. Instead, the subtitle is closer to meaning "The Untold Adventures" or something of that ilk. |

Lampshade Hanging |
| Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game) / int_2a090d00 |
comment |
Lampshade Hanging: The Prince does a lot of this. Noting that every time he gets into one of "these situations" there's a woman ordering him around. Noting that just once he'd like a trap system that could tell him from the enemy. Asking why it's always sand, and who built a particular puzzle that needed to be solved in order to reach some stairs. Complaining that Razia didn't warn him about certain traps. |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Downplayed (as you still "kill them"), but since it's still not at the time of Warrior Within, the Prince uses less lethal methods against human enemies (if they're prone he just hit them really hard with his fists instead of stabbing them). |

Once an Episode: The Prince yet again attains a method to rewind time. After the Dagger of Time in Sands of Time, Razia gifts him the ability to rewind time an hour or two into this game. Warrior Within would use Farah's medallion and The Two Thrones would reunite the Prince with the Dagger of Time. The Prince yet again acquires a new sword that one-hit-kills standard enemies and is mandatorily acquired as part of the story. |

Happy Ending Override: This game does this for The Two Thrones. After taking Babylon back from the Vizier, the Prince ends up being abducted by a cult. They used his blood and Razia's blade to revive their master. Unfortunately, the cursed sands destroys a few cities and turns their inhabitants into monsters. One of them turns out to be Babylon. And at the end of the game, the Prince is once again separated from Farah. |

Our Genies Are Different: Both the console and Wii versions feature genies, or Djinn, as characters. This shows that there are several types, with the console version showing Razia, a member of a tribe of Djinn known as the Marid who are based in water and look like normal humans, and Ratash, a member of a tribe of Djinn known as the Ifrit who are based in fire and look like a giant monster, while earth and wind based Djinn are mentioned. Meanwhile the Wii version introduces a genie Zahra, who resembles a small golden person or light and comes from the kingdom of Izdihar, where genies acted as seers and protectors. |

Sealed Army in a Can: Solomon's Army. Sadly, not as in "an army belonging to Solomon" but in "an army created to destroy Solomon, who sealed them away". It was composed of evil creatures of destruction and, by coming in contact with sand, they can grow in numbers until they'll become simply too numerous, and thus unstoppable. |

Later-Installment Weirdness |
| Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game) / int_7b21ef92 |
comment |
Later-Installment Weirdness: On several levels. Many of these come about because the game is actually built up from the 2008 entry and adds the classic mechanics to that (the traversal animations, floaty cloth physics and swirly tentacle-like textures for mystical elements are giveaways). The Prince can run across beams with ease like the 2008 Prince rather than slowly balancing across them like in the PS2 Trilogy. Roll and jump are separate commands, water no longer heals you (breaking pots and killing enemies does), and the game saves automatically rather than from fountains. The combat has the greatest change, playing more like a Hack and Slash where a fight can have as many as 30 enemies swarming the Prince at once in a single wave, rather than attacking foes a handful of foes more individually like the PS2 trilogy. He can also kick enemies to break the defenses of shielded enemies, has a charge attack, but cannot hold more than one weapon like he does in Warrior Within and The Two Thrones. And, as a sign of the more modern Ubisoft, there's an XP system with a skill tree, including elemental powers. The Prince himself only superficially resembles his other appearances in the series. While he has the brown hair from The Sands of Time, his outfit doesn't quite match his look in Warrior Within or the movie this game released alongside. He's also the most muscular he's ever been in this continuity, and his face is closer to Yuri Lowenthal specifically. |

Malevolent Architecture |
| Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game) / int_7eaf99d |
comment |
Malevolent Architecture: Justified in the underground city, which is said to be collapsing due to centuries of disuse. Razia has to give the Prince the power to reimagine certain components of the palace. And similar to The Sands of Time, the unleashing of the Solomon's Army sands physically weathers Malik's city (which gets cranked to the extreme when they merge with a powerful sandstorm at the end of the game). |

Ledge Bats: This game subverts their role and pretty much allows you to take your revenge on them: with the Djinn power of "Flight" you can, when in midair, rush at enemies, which allows you to traverse gaps and abysses by rushing-jumping on flying enemies or enemies standing on the rim of platforms to stop you, so that you can traverse the level. |

What Happened to the Mouse?: The Prince briefly alludes to Farah after the third boss when he mentions having to save "his beloved." Still, even at the end of the game, her whereabouts remain unknown. |

| Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game) / int_963086ce |
comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: If you're playing the games in order and just finished Prince of Persia (2008), the added climb when doing a Wall Jump now has to be triggered manually with R2 rather than being done automatically, and the timing window at the end before the Prince slides back down is much less forgiving. If you're playing just the Sands of Time trilogy then you're also thrown for a loop as all the shoulder button commands have been rearranged, to make way for the added Djinn powers the Prince acquires from Razia. |

Sword of Plot Advancement: The Prince spends the first half of the game not heeding Razia's advice and instead trying to save his brother. When he realizes that Malik can't be saved, the Prince begrudgingly gets the sword from the ancient temple, and allows Razia to fuse with it in order to defeat Ratash and Malik. |

Cool Sword: This time, the Prince's only weapon is the royal saber he took with him from Persia. He later uses an enchanted one given to him by Razia. Malik wields a two-handed and royal-looking scimitar. Said sword is so cool Ratash keeps it the way it is, rather than using his own. |

Interquel: Most versions of the game are this, taking place between the first and second game. Since none of them mention the Dahaka, it's likely they take place before Battles of Prince of Persia, which is what causes the Prince to shift into his darker personality seen in Warrior Within. |

comment |
In Spite of a Nail: Despite the Cosmic Retcon that erased the events of The Sands of Time completely, it appears that the console/PC version of The Forgotten Sands still occurred in the new timeline shown in The Two Thrones. Presumably the PSP version remains canon since erasing the Sands wouldn't affect Ahihud, though whether the events of the Wii version still occurred it up for debate since it depends on the Prince still wanting his own kingdom. |

| Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game) / int_d8bb0c63 |
comment |
Un-Reboot: The last game in the series was a Continuity Reboot. This is a return to the Sands of Time continuity, which itself was a Continuity Reboot of the originals.This trope is somewhat wishy-washy given that the franchise had already done three different continuities by this point (the originals, Sands of Time and 2008) and had more afterwards. However the point remains that, as of 2024, this is the only time the franchise has abjectly returned to a previous continuity. |
