Ubisoft Montréal to continue with development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake

Ubisoft Montréal will work on the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, 19 years after the debut of the original version of this game in 2003.

According to the company via Twitter, Ubisoft Montréal will continue working on the development of the next title in the franchise instead of Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai.

“The development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will now be led by Ubisoft Montréal, the very birth place of the epic Sands of Time trilogy.”

“This decision is an important step and the team, building upon the work achieved by Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, will now take the time they need to regroup on the scope of the game to deliver you the best experience for this remake of an all-time classic, when it’s ready.”
