Ubisoft’s troubled Prince of Persia remake moved to a new studio

The development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has been delayed and is being moved to a new studio in Canada. The game was in the works at two India studios.

The very birth place of the epic Sands of Time trilogy, Montr, will now lead the development of Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time ReMake.

Outside of assisting with games like Just Dance, the remake of The Sands of Time is the first major title that the Mumbai and Pune studios have led development on. It didn't say what prompted it to swap studios, and it didn't respond to the request for comment.

The remake of the game is supposed to be a reskin of the game, not just a new engine. It was going to be released on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC in January 2021. The Series X / S or PS5 still has no word on how to improve.

The release of The Sands of Time was pushed back by a couple of months due to pandemic-related issues. The last update about the game came in October of last year, which reassured fans that developers were still working on the game.
