Ubisoft has moved the title from Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai to Montreal.
The troubled Prince of Persia remake has moved from developers Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal, it has been revealed.
The Sands of Time remake was first announced in September 2020; it was then delayed to March 2021 after fans weren’t happy with its look and feel. The title was then delayed indefinitely back in February 2021.
The news is most certainly heartbreaking for those in Ubisoft’s Pune and Mumbai studios.
“Most of us [at Ubisoft Pune] have been working in this studio for the past 12 years, doing daily work with other studios helping them with their development,” Senior Producer Annu Koul of Ubisoft Pune told Stevivor back in 2020.
“Working on this project as a lead studio is like a dream come true for us; it’s something very close to our heart,” Koul continued. “We all grew up playing this game; this game has shown to us in India that there is a gaming industry. That you can be part of the gaming industry and you can make a career in the gaming industry.”
Ubisoft announced news of the transition over on Twitter.
“This decision is an important step and the term, building upon the work achieved by Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, will no take the team they need to regroup on the scope of the game to deliver you the best experience for this remake of an all-time classic, when it’s ready,” Ubisoft said.
“We want to thank you all for your continuous support and patience throughout the development. Rest assured, that we will update you on the progress in a future update.”
Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Remake is planned for Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
