          6 cancellations and 7 delays? That's an omen.

            It's good that they didn't remake an otherwise good game, they'd figure a way to ruin it.

              Given the original announcement footage, it might be for the best...

                When they said we have to get used to not owning our games, they really meant it! Can't own it if it never comes out.

                  Crazy that the Sands of Time remake was supposed to come out early 2021... Remakes are supposed to be quick projects for easy money, how could Ubisoft mess it up that much? Sands of Time isn't even a long game!

                  One was a cancelled mobile game but now I'm curious what the other 4 were. I guess we'll never find out as they funnel all that money to their successful live-service stuff.

                      More focus on open-world titles and games as a service? Every time I think they've hit the bottom, they manage to dig deeper.

                        Took me a sec to find it on first scan of the article, so highlighting this bit for those curious about the other games:

                        . . . Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake has been cancelled, as well as four unannounced titles, including three new IPs and a mobile title. The identity of the sixth game has not been clarified.

                        and the delayed games have not been clarified yet either. From the related article:

                        In addition, Ubisoft said it’s delayed seven games to ensure they meet quality expectations. It did not say which games had slipped, but confirmed that the seven titles include one title that was planned for release before April 2026, which will now be released before April 2027.

                          Will you die already Ubisoft!??!?!

                          I don't wish for game developers at Ubisoft to lose their jobs, I want them to be employed somewhere that doesn't torpedo the end product of their talent.

                              Warrior Within and The Two Thrones contiued the Sands of Time story and were both pretty good too.

                                Think positively. They won't fuck up the Sands of Time remake either.

                                  Warrior Within totally fucked up the vibe though, and the combat was rubbish. It’s a puzzle game, the fighting was just a little break, but they tried to make it too big a part.

                                  Two Thrones was 50% SoT and 50% WW, when it should have been 99% SoT and 1% WW. The voice in your head thing from TT was pretty good, until you have to fight it.

                                    too be fair to Ubisoft they have been focusing on open world slop since they started milking assassin's Creed for all it's got.

                                        I’m going to guess that decision was based on the failures of the recent 2.5D PoP games, which were well reviewed but barely advertised (and oft compared to indie games)

                                          It did kind of give that alpha stage vibe, but if it was like a few bucks, it probably buy it. It was a remake after all, with slightly better graphics.
