The original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a special game, so when a remake was announced, fans of the original 2003 adventure were excited. Nearly 20 years later, a remake is on the way — and still is.
Most recently, the remake changed studios, moving under the control of Ubisoft Montreal. At that time, Ubisoft promised it would share more information “in a future update.” That was a month ago, and it seems such an update is necessary now. The remake may not be outright cancelled, but at the very least, a quiet delisting seems to imply that the game is going back to early stages of development. That would make sense with a new studio at the helm.
This is only the latest in a long line of troubles and delays Prince of Persia has seen. First, it was delayed from 2020 to March 2021. A few months later, it was delayed again, with no new release date given. In this case, the game is delayed indefinitely yet again. In a statement to IGN, Ubisoft said it was “no longer targeting fiscal year 2023 release” for the game. At least we know it’s still in the works.
