Trusted industry insider xj0nathan now reveals that the project was 99.99% complete, and Ubisoft shelved it<\/a> at the very last minute. He has also given a new look into the game\u2019s protagonist, the Prince, which can be seen below.<\/p>\n Why it matters:\u00a0Ubisoft\u2019s uncertainty with the Prince of Persia remake led to its cancellation late in development, confirming that we nearly had a great reimagining of the 2003 classic, had the quality been up to par.<\/p>\n J0nathan\u2019s source<\/a> confirmed that only a few bugs remained to be squashed, but the game was still cancelled so close to being done. <\/p>\n The main reason behind the cancellation is the remake\u2019s quality, according to rumors. For instance, even the protagonist seems to have an unpolished look to him, at least when compared to his leaked concept art.<\/a><\/p>\n Many rumors suggest that the remake\u2019s quality was too poor and failed to meet Ubisoft\u2019s standards. Credible insider Tom Henderson also implies Ubisoft was unhappy with how it was turning out, with internal reviews ranging from just \u2018fine\u2019 to \u2018absolutely awful.\u2019<\/p>\n I have [heard] internal communication messages [and] QA reports saying that the game is fine, and then I also have QA people who tested the game saying that it\u2019s absolutely awful, so there\u2019s a lot of miscommunication and some really bad stuff going on with the game.<\/p>\n The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake has faced multiple turbulent periods during development, but it was said to be progressing well in 2024<\/a>. However, the company was no longer willing to\u2014or could not afford to\u2014spend more resources on the remake.<\/p>\n![\"G](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-by-JVSWYAARa-LL.png\"\/)
