Prince of Persia Remake delayed into 2022

Ubisoft has formally introduced that its Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake now gained’t launch till 2022, delaying the sport out of this 12 months and doubtlessly even into the subsequent monetary one.

The announcement got here from a submit on Twitter, through which the corporate defined that it’s making nice progress on the title. Nevertheless, it added that it’s not prepared to point out something from the sport simply but, and that the title can be launching subsequent 12 months now, not this 12 months.

The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is in growth with Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai. Ever because it was revealed in 2020, the sport has been the topic of delay after delay. It appears as if the corporate wished to point out one thing to maintain followers serious about its present video games, however this reveal was just too early.

The sport’s unique launch date was January 21, 2021. It was then pushed to March 2021 in December final 12 months. Then, in February, Ubisoft outlined that the sport was popping out at a later date. The rationale given was to offer the event group the time they should make a remake that feels contemporary and never rushed.

The present development with remakes is for builders to take the bones of an older sport, and put new visuals on high. Typically new mechanics are additionally added, however for probably the most half, the texture of the sport is identical, however the whole lot else is modernized.

Ubisoft is probably going delaying the sport as soon as once more for 2 major causes. The primary is the truth that any sport that launches with bugs now can be a flop. Cyberpunk 2077’s launch made the general public all too conscious of how unhealthy a sport may be if it comes out on the flawed time, and Ubisoft desires to keep away from that.

The second purpose for the delay might be to keep away from any crunch in growth. It is a interval when workers work extraordinarily lengthy hours within the run as much as a sport’s launch. The general public desires to kill the tradition of crunch, and any information of it from inside Ubisoft could be devastating.
