Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake was announced back last year. Ubisoft originally planned on releasing the game in early 2021 but it was delayed due to the pandemic and the massive visual changes undertaken by the studio. This being after the remake was highly criticised for looking dated. The visuals looked old, facial animations weren’t all that great and the general “remake” approach reeked of PS2 console hardware.

Even though we haven’t heard anything about the game since February this year, Ubisoft says that the remake is still happening.

So at least the game isn’t cancelled, right? Ubisoft hasn’t had the smoothest development roadmap over the past two years. The company originally planned on releasing three large games by the end of March 2021. This included Far Cry 6, Prince of Persia and Riders Republic. However, issues brought on by the covid 19 pandemic delayed all three games.

Far Cry 6 and Riders Republic were only just released this October. Prince of Persia is still in limbo. We can only hope that 2022 brings some good news for developers who are struggling to produce games while working from home.
