Ubisoft Cancels Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake

In a statement, Ubisoft has announced that it has cancelled the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Alongside it, it has also cancelled five other unannounced games, which include four new IPs and one mobile game. 

On the official Prince of Persia Twitter/X account, the developers state the following:

To the Prince of Persia community:

We want to share this with you directly.

We’ve made the difficult decision to stop development on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. We know this is deeply disappointing. The game carries enormous meaning for fans and for the teams who worked on it.

While the project had real potential, we weren’t able to reach the level of quality you deserve, and continuing would have required more time and investment than we could responsibly commit. And, we didn’t want to release something that fell short of what The Sands of Time represents.

Prince of Persia as a universe and a legacy continues to matter deeply to us, and this decision does not mean we’re stepping away from the franchise.

Thank you for your passion, patience, and love for Prince of Persia. 

In a press release, Ubisoft elaborated on the decision, and confirmed its new goal to “return to exceptional levels of quality on the Open-World Adventure segment” and to “step-change the group’s position in the [Games as a Service]-native experiences segment.” Alongside the cancellations, it has internally delayed seven unannounced games. 

Lastly, the most recent entry in the Prince of Persia franchise, The Rogue Prince of Persia, is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.

Lastly, Shochiku describes the anime series as follows, via the official website:

One does not need dance to live.

In 1374, during the turbulent age when the Northern and Southern Courts were locked in conflict, the Northern Court’s shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was becoming an increasingly dominant force.

Born the son of Kan’ami, head of the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, Oniyasha drifts through his days with a hazy question lodged in his heart: Why do people dance? His spirit remains clouded, until the day he encounters a dance that is truly “good.”

Curious, sensitive, and strikingly beautiful, the boy meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and slowly begins to shape a new form of dance for a world steeped in impermanence.
