Unfortunately, those of you patiently waiting for the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time video game will be disappointed to learn that Ubisoft has pushed its launch date back a few months from January 21st, 2021 to March 18th, 2021. The delay has been attributed to further work needed to improve the game.
“Greetings, Prince of Persia fans! During our Ubisoft Forward digital conference, we proudly announced Prince’s return from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. We are excited to be able to put this game in your hands again as we retell the story of Prince and Farah in the amazing 11th century Persia.
However, 2020 was a year like no other. Today we would like to inform you that we need more time to complete the game. With that, the release date of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been moved to March 18, 2021. We believe this is the right decision to ensure we deliver a game you like. Thank you for your patience and continued support of the Prince of Persia, and we hope you remain safe and healthy during this holiday season. Developer team.”
Reasons Behind the Delay
The decision to delay the release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has not been taken lightly. Ubisoft has emphasized that the extra time is crucial for polishing the game to meet the high expectations of fans. The original game, released in 2003, was a groundbreaking title that set new standards for action-adventure games with its innovative gameplay mechanics and captivating storyline. The remake aims to honor this legacy while introducing modern enhancements.
The development team has faced numerous challenges, particularly due to the global pandemic, which has disrupted workflows and caused unforeseen delays. Remote working conditions have made collaboration more difficult, and ensuring the quality of the game has required additional time and resources. Ubisoft is committed to delivering a product that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of both old fans and new players.
What to Expect from the Remake
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake promises to bring a host of improvements and new features. Players can look forward to enhanced graphics, with updated character models and environments that bring the ancient Persian setting to life in stunning detail. The game will also feature improved controls and combat mechanics, making the gameplay experience smoother and more intuitive.
One of the most exciting aspects of the remake is the inclusion of new voice acting and motion capture performances. The original voice actor for the Prince, Yuri Lowenthal, has returned to reprise his role, adding a layer of authenticity and nostalgia for long-time fans. Additionally, the game’s soundtrack has been re-recorded to provide a richer and more immersive audio experience.
Ubisoft has also hinted at the possibility of new content and surprises that were not present in the original game. While details are scarce, this could include new levels, challenges, or even story elements that expand on the lore of the Prince of Persia universe.
“We understand that this delay may be disappointing, but we are confident that the extra time will allow us to deliver a game that lives up to the high standards set by the original. We are grateful for your patience and support, and we can’t wait for you to experience the magic of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake.”
The anticipation for the remake is palpable, and while the delay is unfortunate, it is a testament to Ubisoft’s dedication to quality. Fans can rest assured that the wait will be worth it, as the development team works tirelessly to bring this beloved classic into the modern era.
