After a long and arduous development process, featuring multiple studios, Ubisoft finally decided to cancel Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. While the project was already in development hell, the move came as a part of a major restructuring for the studio, where other projects were also canceled.
This obviously didn't go down well with fans of the series, who thought that the IP was finally back from the dead after The Lost Crown and Rogue Prince. Unfortunately, most think that this cancellation marked the end of the series as a whole. However, it seems that some members of the community aren't letting it go, and are planning to develop the remake themselves.
As spotted by GamesRadar, the Prince of Persia: Community Remake Project is an attempt by fans to recreate the remake they were robbed of. "The Prince of Persia community has come together to create its own project following the cancellation of the Sands of Time Remake," said the announcement. "This is not a traditional remake, but a large-scale mod aiming to replace most 3D models with high-quality assets and introduce global illumination through path tracing technology."
