Ubisoft announced it sometime ago, but we now have our first look at Prince of Persia: The Dagger of Time, the VR experience that is coming to some locations around the world, when we are allowed back into these locations again.

The Dagger of Time takes place in the setting of the Prince of Persia Trilogy (Sands of Time, Warrior Within, The Two Thrones). Players are summoned to the Fortress of Time by Kaileena to stop an evil Magi. Kaileena restores and gives the Dagger of Time to the players so they can reach the Hourglass Chamber and use it to stop the Magi.

“Everyone has wished once to hold the incredible power to control time! Slow, pause or even rewind time when you most need it!” said Cyril Voiron, Executive Producer for Ubisoft’s Escape Games. “This is today made possible, only in VR, when you hold the Dagger of Time in our latest Larger-than-Life escape adventure.”

“After just two years in operation, we have now partnered with more than 300 locations around the globe,” said Benedikt Grindel, Managing Director of the German Ubisoft studios. “What started as a prototype became one of the largest distribution networks in the location-based entertainment market, which makes us really proud.”

As this is a VR experience, you need to play this with other people, so getting some friends together and taking part in a new adventure could be just what we all need.

Here in Australia, there are a few locations that support the Ubisoft Escape VR title, including VR Kingdom in Sydney, Untethered in Adelaide and Virtual World in Rockhampton. As this is not a traditional game release, you are best to contact the location of your choice, to see when they might be getting it.
