Ubisoft has provided an optimistic update on the development progress of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. The remake, initially announced in 2020, has gone through several delays and a transfer of development teams. Fans have been concerned about the status of the project due to its problematic production history.
The publisher took to Twitter to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the original game's release by announcing that the title has reached a significant internal milestone and that work is steadily moving forward. Although specifics about the milestone were not disclosed, this development indicates a positive turnaround.
Since shifting the development to Ubisoft Montreal, home of the Assassin's Creed Valhalla team, the game has been in the 'conception' phase since May of this year. While the anticipation for the remake remains, players have something new to explore with the introduction of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a 2D Metroidvania-style game, which has already shown promise in early impressions.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits more news on the highly anticipated remake, bringing a classic title back to life, Ubisoft continues to cater to fans' hopes with both the remake and fresh Prince of Persia experiences.
