17 Outstanding Modern And Classic Turn-Based RPGs

17 Outstanding Modern And Classic Turn-Based RPGs https://ift.tt/14gnkcK We thought the age of turn-based RPGs was over after the genre lost some of its luster during the more action-oriented Xbox 360 era. But something funny happened: turn-based RPGs suddenly became cool again. The evidence is clear as day. Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the most popular games of the decade, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was one the best reviewed new games of 2025 with a 92 on Metacritic and won Game of the Year at The Game Awards. Turn-based is all the way back, and it's never been better. As we continue to move through this new turn-based renaissance, it's worth spending a moment to take inventory of some of the best turn-based RPGs that are available right now. Some are very new, and some are very much not new, but all of them are obtainable and playable in the present, and are pretty much guaranteed to hit the spot for any gamer with a hankering for a more cerebral style of battle.

Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time Remake Still In "Conceptual Stages" Amid Development Struggles

Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time Remake Still In "Conceptual Stages" Amid Development Struggles https://ift.tt/DWqSfhb

Back in mid-2022, we learned that the Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time remake that was in development at Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai had been shifted to Ubisoft Montreal due to a rocky development cycle. Though it's been nearly a year since that announcement, Ubisoft recently confirmed that the game will not be at its upcoming showcase Ubisoft Forward, stating that the game is "in conception right now."

In a Q&A with producer Jean-Francois Naud and game director Michael McIntyre, Ubisoft said that the remake is in "an early stage" and that players should not expect to hear more about the project this year. Throughout the conversation, the two creatives note that the project is a remake of the game rather than a remaster, with McIntyre saying that games have evolved in the twenty years since its original release. "I do not think a remaster would take enough of those evolutions into account," they say. "I think you need to do a remake in order to truly evolve the game to meet a modern context."

McIntyre also said that Sands Of Time's signature mix of acrobatics, combat, and puzzles are important to the remake's identity. They also said that the team has considered making the Prince's shirt rip more and more over the course of the game, though McIntyre stopped short of confirming it. The director also said that multiple people who are working on the remake were directly inspired to join the game industry by Sands Of Time itself, including one who was studying to be an actuary when they first played it.
