Ubisoft Shifts Prince of Persia Devs to Big Upcoming Titles

Ubisoft has disbanded the team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, reallocating developers to projects such as Beyond Good and Evil 2, a new Ghost Recon installment, and a Rayman remake. The decision follows the game's failure to meet sales expectations, with the core development team pushing for additional expansions after its release. This reshuffle comes amidst a challenging period for Ubisoft, marked by disappointing sales figures from recent titles and organizational upheaval. Meanwhile, the hotly anticipated Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake is set to launch in 2026.

The team was disbanded due to the game not meeting sales expectations, prompting Ubisoft to shift focus to other projects with higher potential, including Beyond Good and Evil 2 and an unannounced Rayman remake.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a recent installment in the long-running franchise that began in 1989. Known for its platforming and puzzle-solving elements, the franchise has evolved over the years, capturing a dedicated fan base. The Sands of Time Remake, a highly anticipated project, promises to revitalize the classic game while updating its graphics and gameplay mechanics.
