Prince of Persia Remake pre-orders are being refunded — Ubisoft insists it’s not cancelled

Ubisoft has shared an update directly to his blog about the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in light of the cancellation of customer pre-orders.

Yes it’s correct. Pre-orders for the new version will be canceled and the costs will be refunded to enthusiastic fans. The update, which was last updated on November 7, says that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is “not cancelled”. Ubisoft also says that the game is still in development at Ubisoft Montreal.

The update continues, with Ubisoft adding that, “Since the game currently does not have a release date, existing pre-orders have been canceled and refunded where appropriate.”

As for the release date, Ubisoft says that there is no new release date set for the new version yet, and will provide more information when it is ready to do so. The developer and publisher also stated that there are currently no plans to remake any other titles in the Prince of Persia series, in case you’re holding out hope for a shiny new remake of the original 1989 title.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was first revealed in 2020. While we were initially supposed to see it in January 2021, the game’s release was pushed back a couple of months to March 2021. Sadly, this didn’t work out. altogether. , and Ubisoft decided to postpone the game. This time, at an indefinite “later date.”

Ubisoft then shared another update, saying that we could expect the game during 2022. It’s now November 2022, and it’s probably safe to say that we won’t be seeing The Sands of Time Remake anytime soon, given the latest turn of events.

It’s also perhaps worth noting that the remake has changed hands since its initial reveal, moving from Ubisoft Pune to Ubisoft Mumbai, before finally landing in the hands of Ubisoft Montreal.

Given the delays, changing hands, and pre-order cancellations, there’s no denying that Ubisoft seems to be setting up Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake for a cancellation. However, the company insists that it is not cancelled, so now we have nothing to do but wait and see. At least some of us might have a slightly heavier wallet after this news.
