Ubisoft has released a statement regarding the cancellation of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. Announced all the way back in 2020, Ubisoft’s remake of the iconic Prince of Persia title has been on a rather bumpy path up to this point. Initially set for release on January 21, 2021, the publisher chose to delay the project to March 18 in response to fan backlash, as gamers criticized the visuals for looking dated even despite using the latest version of the Ubisoft Anvil engine.
However, just a month before its March release, Ubisoft decided to postpone the game indefinitely, and it would ultimately switch development studios, with Ubisoft Montreal taking over development from Ubisoft Mumbai. Despite numerous assurances that the game was progressing, including the publisher's announcement of a planned 2026 release at its Ubisoft Forward event, Ubisoft announced the Prince of Persia remake's cancellation this month. The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is just one of six titles Ubisoft has canceled this year, and is part of a rapidly growing list of games the publisher has canceled in the last several years.
