After the release of Sands of Time, Ubisoft Montreal headed up by Patrice Desilets and Jade Raymond developed a tech demo for a new Prince of Persia title, codenamed Prince of Persia Assassins inspired by the historical assassins stories as far back as Marco Polo all the way up to Dan Brown's novels. Over the course of development, their Prince of Persia project turned into a new franchise, Assassin's Creed leading to a handful of Prince of Persia reboots.
