Prince of Persia remake delayed to at least mid-2023

More troubles.

The Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Remake has been delayed beyond the 2023 financial year, meaning we won’t see the title until at least mid-2023.

The news follows previous delays and, more importantly, the game changing hands from developers Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal.

“We’re proud of the work achieved by Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, and Ubisoft Montreal will benefit from their learnings as the new team will continue the work to deliver a great remake,” Ubisoft told PC Gamer. “As a consequence, we are no longer targeting a FY23 release anymore and the game has been delisted.

“If players wish to cancel their preorder they are invited to contact their retailer. They will be updated on the project as the development is moving along.”

The outlet reached out to Ubisoft as it had noticed that retailers including Amazon and GameStop had stopped accepting pre-orders for the title and even went as far as delisting it on some platforms.

Update: Ubisoft has launched a new FAQ that reiterates that The Sands of Time Remake has not been cancelled.

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

Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Remake is planned for Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
