Ubisoft Toronto has officially announced its collaboration with Ubisoft Montréal on the highly anticipated remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The Toronto studio expressed its excitement for the future, highlighting the contribution of its creativity, expertise, and updated technology to refresh this beloved classic. This partnership signifies a significant step forward in the development of the game, bringing together the talents of two renowned studios in the industry.
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake initially faced challenges during its development, leading to the decision to transfer the project from Ubisoft Mumbai and Ubisoft Pune to Ubisoft Montréal. After an underwhelming first trailer and a series of obstacles, the game was put back into the “conception phase” in May 2023 for a major overhaul. This involved building up the team, defining priorities, developing prototypes, and testing gameplay elements to ensure a successful reimagining of the classic title.
With Ubisoft Toronto now on board, alongside Ubisoft Montréal, there is renewed hope for the Sands of Time remake. Both studios boast impressive portfolios, with Toronto having worked on titles like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Far Cry, Watch Dogs: Legion, and XDefiant, while Montréal has experience with Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Roller Champions, Watch Dogs, and Prince of Persia. The combined expertise of these teams bodes well for the future of the remake, promising a fresh take on the iconic game.
Despite the setbacks and delays, fans of the Prince of Persia series have eagerly awaited updates on the remake. The release of two additional Prince of Persia games since the announcement of the Sands of Time remake has only added to the excitement surrounding the project. While details on how Ubisoft Toronto’s involvement will shape the game remain unclear, the collaboration between the two studios is expected to accelerate development and enhance the overall quality of the remake.
As Ubisoft continues to work on the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, fans can expect significant updates on the game’s progress later in 2024 or 2025. The long wait for news on the project overhaul has tested the patience of dedicated followers, but there is optimism that the combined efforts of Ubisoft Toronto and Montréal will result in a final product that meets the high expectations set by the beloved franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on this eagerly anticipated remake.
