Ubisoft has announced that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been delayed again, this time without a clear new release date in mind. The developers of the remake released a statement on Twitter explaining that “we have made the decision to move the release for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake to a later date. This extra development time will enable our teams set to deliver a remake that feels fresh while staying true to the original. “

The remake was previously scheduled for release on March 18, after which it was delayed following plans for a release in January 2021.

Each game delay was announced in 2021

Ubisoft announced the Sands of Time Remake for the first time during its Ubisoft Forward event in September, confirming that it would use the Assassin’s Creed Anvil engine and see the return of actor Yuri Lowenthal as the prince.

In December, Ubisoft announced the repeat from January to March, citing the unpredictable barriers to development in light of COVID-19 and its impact on 2020, saying: “However, 2020 was a year like no other. Today we wanted to please let us know that we are taking extra time to work on the game … We believe this is the right call to ensure we deliver a game that you will enjoy. “With this latest delay, there is no new release date or window, but Ubisoft says it will “keep players informed of progress”.IGN’s original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time review calls the game a must-have – a classic that will soon be a permanent feature of your collection. “

The remake costs $ 39.99 and is available on PS4, Xbox One and PC via Epic Games Store, the Ubisoft Store on Windows and UPlay +. And there are no announced plans for PS5 or Xbox Series X versions of the game yet, but it will be able to be played on the next-generation console via backwards compatibility.
