Ubisoft Toronto recently announced its involvement in the long-anticipated remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The studio expressed excitement about bringing its creativity, expertise, and updated technology to refresh this beloved classic. This news signifies a positive development for fans eagerly anticipating updates and progress on the remake.
Originally slated for a 2021 launch, the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake faced setbacks following an underwhelming first trailer and a series of development challenges. The project was initially in the hands of Ubisoft Mumbai and Ubisoft Pune before being transferred to Ubisoft Montréal. In May 2023, Ubisoft revealed that the game had returned to the “conception phase” due to the need for a significant overhaul.
Interestingly, since the announcement of the Sands of Time remake, two separate Prince of Persia games, The Lost Crown, and The Rogue Prince of Persia, have been released. These new additions to the series have heightened expectations and enthusiasm for the upcoming remake. The collaborative efforts of Ubisoft Toronto and Ubisoft Montréal are expected to accelerate development progress and help the remake reach its full potential.
With Ubisoft Toronto’s experience working on titles like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Far Cry, and Watch Dogs: Legion, combined with Ubisoft Montréal’s expertise in franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, the collaboration between the two studios on the Sands of Time remake holds great promise. While details about the project’s direction remain vague, fans can anticipate significant updates in the coming years.
Overall, the addition of Ubisoft Toronto to the development team of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake signifies a renewed commitment to delivering a high-quality gaming experience. Fans eager for more news may have to wait a little longer, but there is optimism that the project overhaul will ultimately result in a revitalized and memorable remake for loyal followers of the franchise.
