Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Won't be Out Until 2022
Ubisoft announced that we'll wait for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake until next year. We also shouldn't expect a presentation of the game during this year's E3.
- Developer: Ubisoft Mumbai
- Publisher: Ubisoft
- Genre: 3D platformer
- Platforms: PC, XONE, PS4
- Release Date: 2022
We have bad news for gamers waiting for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Ubisoft has announced that the game will debut only next year. For now, the publisher is not ready to give a more precise date.
In the near future we also shouldn't expect new materials from this project. The publisher informed that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake will not appear at the Ubisoft Forward, which will take place next Saturday, on June 12.
The game's development cycle has proven to be surprisingly bumpy for a remake. The project was announced last September and was originally scheduled for release on January 21, 2021. Then the game's debut was delayed until March 18, and after that another slip was announced, but this time no new date was given.
The problems of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake are probably partly due to the poor reception of the project after its disclosure. Players complained especially about the severely disappointing graphics. The developers showed updated footage shortly afterwards, which looked better, but was still far from perfect. So it's possible that the decision to delay the release until 2022 was made so that the developers have time to thoroughly refresh the visuals.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was announced for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The PC version will be sold on Epic Games Store and Uplay.
While waiting for the remake it's worth remembering the original, especially with mods
Fans of the series are left to wait patiently for the remake. You can make this time more pleasant by returning to the original. Especially on PC it is still a noteworthy production, because thanks to a fan mod it can be run in widescreen resolutions. Analogous projects are also available for the next two installments.
