While many fans are undoubtedly excited to jump back into thePrince of Persiagames, others were highly critical of what they saw, with manycomplaining aboutPrince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake’s graphics.
Following the controversy about its graphics,Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remakewas delayedfrom its planned early 2021 release date, with no new solid release date in sight.

In a message to the community, the developers ofPrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake confirmed that the game will not be at theUbisoft Forward event, scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 12 at 12:00pm PT. The developers also said that they have been making “great progress” for the game to “release next year,” seemingly confirming thatPrince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake’s release date has been pushed back to 2022 at the earliest.
On one hand,Prince of Persiafans may be disappointed that they won’t get to see the game at E3 2021 as they may have anticipated. On the other hand, fans may prefer the developers to take their time focusing on actually developing the game instead of putting together trailers for events like the Ubisoft Forward at E3. Fans should be able to expect an update once more significant progress has been made on the game.
WhilePrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake won’t be at the Ubisoft Forward event at E3, other Ubisoft games have been confirmed for the big show. This includesRainbow Six: Extraction, which was previously known asRainbow Six: Quarantine, as well as theupcoming open world gameFar Cry 6. Updates on games likeAssassin’s Creed ValhallaandRider’s Republicwill also be featured at the Ubisoft Forward.
Of course, it wouldn’t be E3 without some surprises, and so Ubisoft fans can expect the company to reveal new games as well. What these new Ubisoft games will be are anyone’s guess, but hopefully fans get updates on some of the Ubisoft games that have been stuck in limbo, likeBeyond Good & Evil 2orpirate gameSkull and Bones.
