A third variation of the prince appears in the 2008 series reboot and its DS companion game "". Ben Mattes, the reboot's producer, explained that the inspiration for the character design of the prince was to express how he will eventually become a prince through an epic journey. Additional inspiration was drawn from characters such as Sinbad from "One Thousand and One Nights", Han Solo from "Star Wars", and Aragorn from "The Lord of the Rings". Mattes explained that when designing the character, Ubisoft wanted to communicate visually the dichotomy of the life of an adventurer. The prince wears red and blue cloth as a turban and scarves, a sign of wealth. However, he also wears plain leather leggings to help protect his legs, instead of opting for fashion. The Prince also had a companion in the form of Elika. Their relationship was based on the story and gameplay relationship between the Prince in "The Sands of Time" and Farah, which had worked well.
