The troubled and protracted development of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake has finally come to an end. Ubisoft announced it was cancelling the remake, along with five other unannounced games, as part of a major organisational and portfolio reset that will see the company distribute its franchises among five new business units. The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, which was set to launch in 2026, wasn't able to reach the desired level of quality, Ubisoft said.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is exactly what it sounds like. A roguelite genre adventure set in the Prince of Persia franchise is enough to get the attention of both sets of fans. Even more exciting is the studio behind the project: Evil Empire. Best known for its work on Dead Cells, Evil Empire understands what makes a modern roguelite tick. Get ready for buttery smooth level design, intricate loadout strategies, and lots and lots of sudden death.

In June, Ubisoft noted that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is set to launch by March 31--the end of the company's current fiscal year. That was the second time Ubisoft stuck to that release timeline, too. However, it's been a bumpy road for the game since being announced in 2020. For instance, in 2022, the Prince of Persia remake switched developers to Ubisoft Montreal, the original team behind the Sands of Time series.

Yep, we're still deep in the game - exploring, building, and ensuring the sands move with purpose. This game is being crafted by a team that truly cares.
