After months of silence, Ubisoft have released a new update for The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake and that is, it’s not dead.

The update was delivered via a post via the Ubisoft Help portion of the website, here is the full update as posted:

Here is some information that we can share with you at this point in time:

State of the game

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is not cancelled. The game is currently in development at Ubisoft Montréal.

Other remakes in the series

Beyond Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time there are currently no plans to remake any other Prince of Persia title.

Release date

At the moment, a new release date has not been set, we will provide new information on that front when we are ready.

Pre-order cancellations

Since the game currently does not have a release date, existing pre-orders have been cancelled and refunded where applicable.

Pre-orders may reopen once a new release date for the game has been announced.

We will share more details about the development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in future updates.

While it is nice that the game isn’t dead, given it was only a few weeks from release when it was first delayed, before being delayed again and then again, before finally swapping development studios. I am fully expecting that the game restarted development when Montreal took over, meaning that depending on the engine or quality they are going for, we shouldn’t expect to see it until late next year, at the earliest.
