Ubisoft claimed that the Montreal studio would build upon the work of the Mumbai and Pune studios, but Insider Gaming reported that this was not the case. According to them, The Sands of Time Remake is being “redone” from scratch. The remake has reportedly undergone a graphical overhaul, taking a more “realistic approach” and revamping the combat and parkour.
Ubisoft Montreal has allegedly rewritten the script and re-recorded all mocap. Another significant change is in the voice actor for the Prince, with Yuri Lowenthal reportedly being dropped from the project. It’s currently unknown who will take his place.
The development of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been marked by questionable decisions at almost every step. Ubisoft announced an “important milestone” in its development after restarting in 2022 but did not specify when the revamped game would be released. Insider Gaming claims that a “more prominent update on the project” can be expected soon, but no specific timeline has been provided.
