- Apparently, Ubisoft didn’t even reach out to the actor about the Sands of Time remake’s cancellation.
- The actor Eman Ayaz published a new YouTube video explaining her POV on the situation.
- The actor feels devastated as 3 years of her acting career are now down the drain.
Less than a week ago, Ubisoft dropped the bombshell that it would be closing 2 studios, delaying 7 upcoming games, and shelving 6 games, including the highly awaited Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake.
The latter part was a surprise to many, even for the actor behind the game, who was kept in the dark about the entire situation. In a new YouTube video, Eman Ayaz, actor for Farah, talked in detail about the whole debacle, claiming that Ubisoft kept her in the dark about the game’s cancellation.
Why it matters: For a game that was reportedly 99% done, it’s unfortunate to see it axed. However, the most unfortunate part is that Ubisoft does not respect its artists enough to inform them of such a decision beforehand.
In the video titled “The Most Devastating Moment Of My Acting Career,” Eman discussed in detail the recent devastating news in vague words; she is under an NDA after all.
The actor revealed that she learned of the news from her brother, who reached out after following the news on social media. Eman was taken by surprise by Ubisoft’s decision and even felt betrayed.
The actor had dedicated 3 years to the project and was excited to see it released. Eman also revealed that she wrapped up marketing work for the game about a month ago, corroborating earlier reports that it was scheduled for a release soon.
The entire development timeline of the Sands of Time remake has been a bumpy ride. The game’s development was rebooted following the negative reception from the initial reveal in 2022.
Then, Ubisoft Montreal took over the development from Ubisoft India. Unfortunately, not even the game’s original creators could save it, as it was cancelled due to ‘quality concerns.’
