Iconic Prince of Persia remake postponed
The iconic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003) gets a remake, which has now been postponed for the second time. What is going on?
Many gamers will have come into contact with Prince of Persia in more or less measure. Ubisoft’s iconic franchise has one figurehead, the iconic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The respective remake was announced last year but has now been postponed indefinitely.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake postponed
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was originally released for GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC. A remake of the iconic game was announced last year, which should have been released in January of 2021. That was postponed to March of this year. Now the game has been delayed indefinitely.
While The Sands of Time was by far the most successful and renowned game in the franchise, the game’s remake received far from positive reactions. As seen in the trailer below, the remake’s graphics are a bit questionable.
While the developer doesn’t provide a specific reason why the game was delayed, those criticisms will certainly have contributed to the decision. In any case, remakes should bring something innovative, while retaining the energy of the original. That innovation is usually improved graphics, but with regard to The Sands of Time remake, that is debatable.
So the team may return to the drawing board to improve the graphics. Add to that the genre-defining gameplay and the cool story, and you’re bound to have a masterful remake. But when it will come out remains to be seen so far.
