An update on the development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
Last year, Ubisoft announced that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake project was moving to Ubisoft Montreal, where the studio that created the 2003 original would take over development. While the project is still heavily under wraps and won’t be at Ubisoft Forward in June, it’s very much alive – and Ubisoft News had a chance to speak with Producer Jean-Francois Naud and Game Director Michael McIntyre about its status, what it means to Ubisoft Montreal, and what made The Sands of Time such a unique experience.
I love they are acting how much they love this and the care about the game
If they did they wouldn’t have given it to a lesser studio with nothing under them.
Shows you how much things can change with backlash
I am just wondering if Ubisoft will botch it like they did with the Ezio trilogy.
They avoided the GTA remaster issue, but the language around it is funny. They’re hiding a badly-developed remaster behind false passion.
Ubisoft writes: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is not cancelled. The game is currently in development at Ubisoft Montréal.
Beyond Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time there are currently no plans to remake any other Prince of Persia title.
One of my favorite games of all time. I really hope they can pull it off properly.
Mine as well, absolutely love this game.
Here’s hoping they’ll put this off properly and not ruin such a beloved classic and gem…🤞🏼
Oh man ubisoft of today is not ubisoft of 2003. I’m not holding my breath on this one
If they just gave it to their main team and treat it with respect the first time round before giving it to one of their lesser studios who were only known for support work then maybe we could have seen a release date by now.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been going through some troubled development, having been delayed multiple times, but there's the chance that the game may at least be ready for a proper re-reveal.
I'm very interested to see if Ubisoft Montreal was able to salvage this, because despite a lot of Ubisoft hate out there, this game is still an all time classic and I want it to be awesome. I'm really glad they had the sense to pull it from the Pune and Mumbai studios when they saw the backlash. Kudos to Ubisoft for not just saying screw it, and releasing it anyways.
So our reward for being patient is to wait even longer? Absolutely unacceptable. I get that delays happen, but this is straight up incompetence.
Why would you give this AAA project to inexperienced studios like Pune and Mumbai in the first place?
I don't care if it's Microsoft, Sony, Embracer, or even EA....buy these IPs and give them the love/respect they deserve!
It was really a bad idea to give an unproven studio a major franchise remake.
I hope they make all 3. Warrior within was my favorite of that trilogy.
Don't hold your breath for this one. It will be terrible.
