Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is starting over from scratch

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake

A key mechanic in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is the ability to "rewind time" and try again if you screw something up. Today, Ubisoft announced that it is bringing some of that magic into the real world: The long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has apparently whiffed so badly that developer Ubisoft Montreal is starting over from scratch.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was announced in 2020 and slated for release in 2021, but that didn't work out. Since then it's been delayed multiple times and even switched studios, moving from Ubisoft's Pune and Mumbai offices to Montreal; Ubisoft has insisted throughout that the project isn't cancelled, but fans started to wonder when existing preorders were all cancelled and refunded in November 2022.
