Ubisoft is giving out some mixed signals in regard to its remake of The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Though the game was announced in 2020, it has been delayed several times, while shifting between three different development studios. Most recently, Ubisoft has indefinitely delayed the remake, which is currently in the hands of Ubisoft Montreal, and issued refunds to anyone who has pre-ordered the game. Despite this, Ubisoft is insistent on claiming that The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake hasn't been canceled, and is still being developed. A FAQ page was published to explain the decision, with Ubisoft stating that pre-orders will open back up once they've got a planned release date for the game.

Honestly, if this doesn't include warrior within and two thrones. I won't mind if it doesn't get a release. The story is told over 3 games, not just 1.

Sands of Time is "still in development" like Google Stadia "is not shutting down"

This is a dumb analogy because Google announced stadia is shutting down Ubisoft hasn't announced a cancellation

I heard they were so buttmad at how bad it was by an outsourced studio they started all over.

If possible, they should have hold off announcing the game in the first place and wait till the game is close to be released to announce it then.

I have a gut feeling that they are trying to find some predatory practice to shove in there but are struggling to justify it, like making the game a "live service" game or adding microtransactions

I'm not expecting PoP/SC Remakes to be released at this point. Probably gonna get canceled.

They should just sell these IPs to a publisher that'd treat them respectfully. Rayman, too.

I'm kinda glad they refunded everyone and are keeping the development going, that's integrity right there. They know it's not worth your money yet, and they're fixing it. Good on them.

They're better off making a new game in the series instead of remaking this, the game still looks & plays good and to this day..

 

[ZeroT21]

Why even bother paying for something that might never be made

 

[pustal]

It's gonna be launched right alongside PoP Redemption and the PoP 2008 sequel... That's is to say never

The cancelled 2008 sequel still breaks my heart. That was such a good game. Even The Fallen King was good and make great use of the DS.

Outsource it on the cheap to a small foreign studio

Sort of how Bamco fucked up Prime 4, so Nintendo had to scrap it and start over. (Those fuckers could at LEAST port the OG trilogy to Switch for us while we wait, as I heard Dread is short.)

should just cancel, enough with the remakes, or just dont hire some skrubs to do stuff.

If they did that I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being Far Cry of Persia.

When I saw the announcement of it I was so happy. Then they showed the footage and I was crying inside. So glad it's been scrapped to be redone.
