Ubisoft have announced the release date of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been delayed.
Developed by Ubisoft Pune (with the original being developed by Ubisoft Montreal), the game was originally slated for January 21st for Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store, and Uplay), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Now, the game will launch on March 18th.
The reason for the delay was only cited as “2020 has been a year like no other,” and that the game was taking additional time. It is likely the COVID-19 quarantine orders and working from home have caused delays from the initial plans.
