First announced in a document relating to the company’s restructuring, the cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been openly discussed by Ubisoft.
The French publisher took to social media to address a few words to players who were eagerly awaiting the remake. Insider NateTheHate also revealed that the game was planned for Switch 2.
Finally, Ubisoft wanted to clarify that this cancellation will not result in the license being forgotten.
“We want to share this with you directy.
We’ve made the difficult decision to stop development on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. We know this is deeply disappointing. The game carries enormous meaning for fans and for the teams who worked on it.
While the project had real potential, we weren’t able to reach the level of quality you deserve, and continuing would have required more time and investment than we could responsibly commit. And, we didn’t want to release something that fell short of what The Sands of Time represents.*
Prince of Persia as a universe and a legacy continues to matter deeply to us, and this decision does not mean we’re stepping away from the franchise.
Thank your for your passion, patience and love for Prince of Persia.
