First, forget everything youve seen or heard from the reveal trailer, as the remake has been remade from scratch. Ubisofts official announcement on the change of developers said that Montreal would be building upon the work already done by Ubisoft Mumbai and Pune, but from what weve been able to gather; its been completely redone. Footage sent to Insider Gaming under the condition that it does not go public shows the game is somewhat still in an early stage (missing textures, assets, etc.) and is, unfortunately, likely a ways off from release.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remakes overhaul also includes a more realistic approach, said one source. Everything has been built from the ground up, which includes a complete graphical overhaul, new animations and mechanics for combat and parkour, and much more. Starting from scratch has meant that the game has been rewritten, recaptured in mocap, and more.

One of the most noticeable changes for long-time Prince of Persia fans is that Yuri Lowenthal, the voice behind The Prince in the original, will no longer be reprising his role, despite him doing so in the original reveal trailer and during the remakes original development. Its not entirely clear why Lowenthal is no longer on the project.

Several sources have suggested that the company could give a more prominent update on the project soon, but what that looks like and when it will be is unclear.

Insider Gaming reached out to Ubisoft on comment before publication, to which a spokesperson said, We do not comment on rumours and speculation.

This is ubisoft. They were probably having trouble figuring out how to turn it into a live service.

They're trying to see if there's a viable way to ff7 it, or at the very least include online and micro transactions instead of giving us a full single player game like its 2003 or something

Theyre trying to figure out how to make it shitty without alienating the only people that will want to buy it in the first place (people with nostalgia for the original)

It is an Ubisoft problem like how Skull & Bones took 11 years....

They originally gave it to an unproven Ubisoft studio in India. The trailer didn't look good and the game was given to Ubisoft Montreal to fix it. Even though the release date was only a few months away they decided to completely scrap it and start again. So here we are.

It's similar to what happened to Metroid Prime 4 and Final Fantasy VII Remake. The original developers were fired off the project and it was restarted again under a different studio so what eventually comes out didn't really start development until a couple of years after it was announced.

I played the original Sands of Time to absolute death. It had some of the greatest platforming and combat of any game. The time control aspect just made it 10x cooler on top of that.

iirc, they wanted to use the Assassin's Creed Origins engine, but it didn't work well for the kind of game they were trying to make.

plus, like Punished said, it was an unproven studio.

I feel like they could have just remastered this one, the original aged pretty well
