Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

About

This entry describes a project that never actually launched, not the playable classic you might remember. The original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake started as an ambitious attempt to revitalize the series with modern graphics and mechanics. It was set to release on major consoles and PC but faced delays after its initial reveal in 2020. Instead of arriving on shelves, the development team quietly shut down the project in early 2026 to shift focus elsewhere. You cannot buy or play this specific version today since Ubisoft officially cancelled it years ago. The only way to get the story is through news reports and developer statements about what was lost during production. While many fans hoped for a fresh take on the time-reversal mechanics, this title remains a footnote in franchise history. The game sits at $1.99 on some stores only as a placeholder or legacy listing, not as an active product. It stands as a reminder of how even big studios can walk away from a sequel before it ever sees the light of day.
