Sometimes, getting your hopes up can be a real source of pain, especially when it concerns a project that is highly anticipated but can’t seem to take off for one reason or another. Ubisoft‘s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is one such thing, with multiple delays and a complete reboot part of its short lifecycle. However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel, at least for now.
In an update posted to mark the 20th anniversary of the original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Ubisoft broke its self-imposed radio silence for the year to share that there is good progress being made on the game.
“As you know, the passionate team at @UbisoftMTL is reimagining this legendary story, and we are glad to announce today that the project has passed an important internal milestone and development is progressing,” the company tweeted. “We look forward to sharing more in the future!”
While it may not provide much clarity in terms of what has been done and the progress of things, at the very least, fans will know that the project is still alive in some form. With other projects like Skull & Bones being mired in relatively more dangerous straits, any good news should be taken as such.
After all, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is one of the great classics that will likely do well with a modern audience, and having it back and updated will make plenty of older gamers happy as well.
