It’s looking like the troubled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has lost one of its most important assets: Yuri Lowenthal, the voice actor who played the prince, famously narrated the entirety of the original 2003 game, and is currently renowned for playing Peter Parker’s Spider-Man in the excellent Insomniac games.
” Prince of Persia series creator Jordan Mechner replied to him on Twitter that same day, revealing that Lowenthal had done motion capture work for the new game as well — he got to wield this wooden Dagger of Time in the process. In 2021, Lowenthal told USA Today that the whole remake cast got to work together to capture the game’s performances “like we were doing a play or shooting a movie,” not just voice sessions in a recording booth.
