Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake gets second delay

Prince of Persia®: The Sands of Time

Amidst the scorched sands of ancient Persia, there is a legend spun in an ancient tongue. It speaks of a time borne by blood and ruled by deceit. Drawn to the dark powers of a magic dagger, a young Prince is led to unleash a deadly evil upon a beautiful kingdom.

Ubisoft has announced a second delay for its Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, which had already seen its release date shifted from January 2021 to 18th March in a decision made late last year. It's now due to arrive on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC at an unspecified "later date".

In a newly released statement posted to Twitter, Ubisoft wrote, "Since announcing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in September, we saw an outpouring of feedback from you on this beloved franchise. It is your passion and support that is driving our development teams to make the best game possible."

With that in mind, the decision has been made to push the game's 18th March launch back "to a later date" and the publisher says it will be using the additional development time to "deliver a remake that feels fresh while remaining faithful to the original".
