Prince of Persia Makes Sudden Xbox Return After Remake Cancellation
Key Points:
- Ubisoft canceled the nearly finished Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake earlier this year amid company leadership changes, disappointing both fans and developers.
- Despite the cancellation, the original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is set to return later this year on Xbox as part of Xbox's 25th anniversary backward compatibility program.
- The game will be digitally available on the Xbox store and playable on Xbox Series X/S via original discs, marking a significant win for Xbox as neither Xbox nor PlayStation currently supports the original version.
- This re-release may boost fan interest and could potentially encourage Ubisoft to reconsider completing the remake, though such an outcome remains uncertain.
