According to Ubisoft, the game has not been cancelled, but in the meantime, preorders have been cancelled everywhere…

The French publisher has published a Q&A about the game, but it tells you nothing new. The Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake has not been cancelled and is still in development at Ubisoft Montréal. There are currently no other remakes planned for the series. There is also no word on a release date; when they are ready, they will announce it. Since it is unknown when the game will be available, preorders have been stopped, and refunds have been given where they can do so, which seems suspicious.

The Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake was announced in 2020, with two Indian studios of Ubisoft leading the development. The game was scheduled for release in 2021 but was delayed several times, the art style was tampered with, and this year, the project was handed over to Ubisoft Montréal by the company’s CEO Yves Guillemot. The game has also been dropped from the current financial year, so it will not be released until the end of March, and currently doesn’t even have a release window.

Several games from Ubisoft have also been postponed. It’s not just Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake that’s been in a problematic situation, as it’s also delayed The Settlers RTS in March, Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora in July, and Skull & Bones two months before its release in September. Meanwhile, Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in development for longer than Duke Nukem Forever, making it the saddest video game vaporware story ever. There were no more publisher changes, which is what happened with the blonde macho.

We only need to use one abbreviation for it because what Ubisoft is doing is getting sad.
