Ubisoft made a short assertion at the moment to reassure antsy followers of time journey that their remake of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time remains to be in growth. “Yep, we’re nonetheless deep within the recreation,” they mentioned in a social media post, “exploring, constructing, and making certain the sands transfer with goal.” Okay. We weren’t asking, however okay.
“This recreation is being crafted by a group that actually cares,” the submit continued, “they usually’re pouring their hearts (and a whole lot of espresso) into each step. Thanks for sticking with us.”
The remake of the 2003 motion journey recreation was announced back in 2020. However it was delayed. Then it acquired delayed. After that, it was delayed. After which everyone who pre-ordered it got a refund. Weeeeee, what an journey!
Information of the sport’s ongoing growth seems to resurface on a yearly basis, and final we heard it was scheduled for launch a while in 2026, though we now have nonetheless not seen any latest footage of the sport outdoors of a simple teaser trailer last year (the trailer above exhibits work that Ubisoft say has since been reworked from scratch).
This newest replace (if “we’re nonetheless alive” may be counted as an replace) is simply information within the sense that the sport’s growth hell has been attention-grabbing to observe, if mildly painful for followers of the unique time travelling platformer. Ubisoft’s quick submit can be presumably the results of a social media supervisor’s mistake, in line with PC Gamer. Evidently any person by chance posted a cryptically worded tweet to the Prince Of Persia account as a substitute of the meant For Honor account, and it despatched Prince followers (not these ones) right into a frenzy of hypothesis that wanted to be addressed by truly saying one thing actual.
The unique Prince Of Persia was a easy however likeable story which popularised the undo-like “rewind” button of puzzle platformer Braid. The fight sections have been repetitive and overlong, however that does not cease it from being certainly one of the best games with time travel.
