This is undoubtedly the reason why Ubisoft decided to express itself on the subject via a kind of FAQ where a few sensitive points are touched upon. First of all, the French publisher is formal: no, the development of Prince of Persia Les Sables du Temps Remake has not been canceled and is still in development at Ubisoft Montreal. As for the release date, we are assured that nothing has yet been defined and that Ubisoft will communicate it when this is the case. It is also stated that further Prince of Persia remakes are not in the works. Why this precision? Quite simply because last March, insider Tom Henderson claimed that a 2.5D Prince of Persia, largely inspired by the Ori license, was in development at Ubisoft Montpellier (Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends).
Finally, it is recalled that pre-orders have been canceled and refunded, and that they will restart once the new release date is known. “We’ll share more details about the development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in future posts.“, concludes Ubisoft. We remind you that the game is expected on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC.
