Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake Is Completely Rebuilt & Rewritten

Expert Verified By

Still Very Early In Development!

Story Highlight
  • Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is still in early development.
  • An insider suggests that Ubisoft is rebuilding everything, including the gameplay and the writing.
  • The team is said to be taking a realistic approach, with key members of the voice cast being replaced.

The expectations for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake have become higher after the latest release in the franchise, Prince of Persia Lost Crown.

However, it appears that the developers are still quite early in the project. A reliable insider reports that the studio has rebooted the game entirely after the fan backlash from the initial trailers.

Why it matters: The remake was originally handled by Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai. While the publisher stated that it would pick up where these teams left off, the recent report states that past work has been scrapped completely.

 

The troublesome development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is not a mystery. While Ubisoft Montreal is leading the project, this team is doing everything from scratch.

Reports suggest that the developers will take a more realistic approach, which includes a complete graphical overhaul. Not only that, it has been said that the remake will feature new mechanics for combat and parkour.

It looks like the game has been rewritten, and the developers are putting plenty of effort into the remake of this beloved classic. Reports also confirm that key members of the cast are being replaced.

Therefore, Yuri Lowenthal, who played the prince in the original game, won’t be returning in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. This may bring different and new experiences for the fans of the franchise.

The report further confirms that footage provided by sources shows an early build.

According to these videos, the game is in the early stages and won’t be coming out in the next few years. The footage depicts gameplay with missing textures, incomplete assets, and more.

It has also been reported that the developers are planning to share an update on the title soon.

Perhaps something has been prepared for Ubisoft Forward. Scheduled for June, this event is the home of everything coming from the publisher. Assassin’s Creed Red gameplay is expected to debut at the same showcase before its 2024 launch.

However, fans are currently doubtful about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Therefore, a proper trailer that shows much promise could be beneficial for Ubisoft, even if the game is still many years away.
