Ubisoft’s Prince Of Persia Is Back As A VR Escape Room

The last time we saw a Prince of Persia title was back in 2008. This means that it has been 12 years since a new Prince of Persia game was released. The semi-good news is that Ubisoft hasn’t completely abandoned the franchise yet because the company has since announced a new Prince of Persia VR escape room.

For those unfamiliar, escape rooms are basically rooms that allows a group of people to get together to try and figure out the hints and clues for them to escape, but in this instance, it will be given a hi-tech twist in the form of virtual reality. The VR escape room will come in the form of Prince of Persia: The Dagger of Time.

According to Ubisoft, “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.”

It sounds like an interesting twist on the game and Ubisoft claims that there will be 300 locations around the world that players will be able to check out the game. We would have much preferred the company releasing a new Prince of Persia game, but we suppose this will have to do for now.

Sony Debuts A Remote Control That’s Also A Portable Speaker

The thing with universal remote controllers is that they help cut down the clutter of gadgets around your home. If you’re looking to cut the clutter in your home, then you might be interested to learn that Sony has recently taken the wraps off a new remote control that also has the ability to double up as a portable speaker.

As you can see in the photo, this is by no means your typical remote control. It is rather bulky, but that’s because of the speaker portion that is housed underneath it. This means that users who want want to listen to music in their bedroom or take it with them on the go, they will have the option.

Alternatively, it can also just sit in your living room where you can access the remote controller feature on the buttons at the top, letting you control your TV as well. The remote control/speaker hybrid also has some other features, such as an audio jack so you can plug headphones into it, and it is also splash proof.

Sony is also claiming that users will be able to get up to 13 hours of battery life for the speaker. Unfortunately, for now it seems that this hybrid device is only available in Japan where it is priced at 20,000 JPY, but honestly, we wouldn’t mind seeing it arrive stateside.
