This is starting to feel like another Skull & Bones or Beyond Good & Evil 2 type of situation... I hope the new Ubisoft Montreal team manage to pull this project together, a Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake deserves a great launch.

Prince of Persia deserves so much love from its developers and Ubisoft. But what did we expect….it’s Ubisoft

[TwisTy]

Ubisoft never ceases to disappoint its fans

[X_Blake]

Ubisoft just can't do anything right these days without screwing things up for themselves.

Gotham knights: "I'm gonna look as outdated as possible"

PoP Remake: "Hold my dagger of time"

[ItIsGonnaGetWayWorse]

Clearly they cant find a way to make it a live service with lots of microtransactions

[nichie]

The moment a greedy company gives back money, be ready for the worst case scenario.

[shandorno]

I mean, I think that asking "Just what is going on with Ubisoft" is a question one could ask about a number of subjects regarding this company in the past couple of years.

[Creed-Salazar]

The original trilogy are my favorite games of all time. It makes me immeasurably sad, and woefully disappointed that this is happening to it. Though I still have hope that all this delay is due to their dedication to making a quality remake.

God dammit Ubisoft, you've done it again. It wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last.

[Anon]

They drastically underestimated how much time they need to add every possible micro transaction.

[alanbossdon]

Cant believe they had the decency of cancelling the preorders, knowing Ubisoft

[thaipankatima]

I have vivid memories of the original PoP with its 2D graphics.
But PoP Sands of Time? That, I have fond memories of. The acrobatics really set up the stage for the whole series and the combat wasn't something to sneeze at either.
The 2nd game Warrior Within tried to take on a more serious role. But they managed to finish it off nicely with the Two Thrones.
I'd be more than happy to replay my high school days in my more powerfully advanced PC.

It seems like since Cyberpunk 2077 release, game companies are seeing how important feedback is. I rather games take years and time for a better outcome then rushed and halfassed. I just don't understand how they can toss out a new Assassins Creed so quickly but others are on the back burner.

[KlaelDemon]

I highly recommend the Prince of Persia Retrospective from I Finished A Video Game. A really incredible video covering the series from its origins, on all the ups and downs. A great way to learn a lot about the series you (I certainly didn't) may not know.

Still waiting for yongyea's reaction to Fifa going full NFT after seperating from EA. Like I never imagined fifa getting worse after seperating from EA.

[HeyItsTheWykydtron]

They're probably updating the story for a "modern audience" the same with the Splinter Cell Remake lol

[arrowghost]

Let's hope this series is brought back again without any means of monetization.

[ccrpalex]

I remember times when companies stole each others ideas because of one's success. Now they steal each other ideas cause one was able to get away with selling shit.

[HarryDetective]

I want this to turn out good. These were some of my favorite games growing up.
