Ubisoft announced on Friday the postponement of the “later date” of the release of one of its most famous games, the “remake”, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, scheduled for March 18.

“This extra development time will allow our teams to deliver a remake as innovative as it is faithful to the original work”, indicated the main French video game publisher in a message addressed to the gaming community.

The publisher reports “many feedbacks” from players whose “passion and support inspires our teams to achieve the best possible game. We understand that this news can be a surprise and we will give you this project Will keep you informed about progress.

An action game series launched in 1989

The game’s release, which began on January 21, was already postponed until March 18.

Prince of Persia is an action game series launched in 1989. In an early version of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, released in 2003, the player played the Prince of Persia in search of a magical dagger.

“This is not good news, but it was not even Ubisoft’s biggest title, and the quality of its listing would allow this postponement to be digested in terms of financial impact”. “And in the current context of Kovid, many games are out of step,” said Midcap Partners analyst-Louis Planade, interviewed by AFP.
