Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake finally achieves key development milestones
Prince of Persia stands as an iconic platformer series. Beginning its life on Apple II Series computers in 1989, this groundbreaking title not only advanced game play within its genre but was also considered an attractive title to look at!
Over time, Prince of Persia evolved into something bigger and better, culminating in Ubisoft’s initial entry: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time in 2003 with an astonishing Metacritic score of 92 that earned it the distinction as must-play game in its entire series.
After Sands of Time released in 2024, fans should have been in high anticipation when Ubisoft unveiled a remake in 2020. Unfortunately, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake proved underwhelming to both audiences and critics online; we had no clue as to its actual gameplay while its visuals looked very outdated compared to today. Thus causing multiple delays before ultimately scrapping reports indicated it may never return at some point after May 2023 was reported as its cancellation date.
However, Ubisoft announced recently that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time has successfully reached an important milestone and may finally offer some assurance as far as development of their remake is concerned.
Recently, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time marked its 20th anniversary and on Twitter fans received an optimistic update: as you know, Ubisoft Montreal’s passionate team are working on recreating this epic tale, we’re pleased to report today that an important internal milestone has been met and development continues successfully,” tweeted its official Prince of Persia account. We look forward to sharing more in future!
At present, there is still no confirmed release date for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Hopefully Ubisoft will reveal both an enhanced gameplay trailer and release date shortly.
