A Cast Member of The Sands Of Time Remake Learned About the Cancellation at the Same Time as us
The cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake stands out as one of the most striking steps in Ubisoft’s major restructuring, and it’s noteworthy that even those involved in the project were only informed of this development at the last minute. Actor Eman Ayaz’s revelations show just how advanced the remake was when it was shelved, highlighting a significant communication breakdown behind the scenes.
The Sands of Time Remake Didn’t Inform Players in Advance
In a video published on his YouTube channel, Eman Ayaz talks about a project that he doesn’t explicitly name but which, in detail, points to The Sands of Time Remake. Ayaz says he worked on this project for about three years, that he was like family with the team, and that he closely followed its development. However, after all this effort, he learned of the cancellation decision not directly from Ubisoft, but from news reports online.
According to the actor, the news of the cancellation reached him through a message from a family member. When he opened a link from his brother, he learned that the project had been indefinitely shelved. Ayaz’s account strengthens the possibility that Ubisoft did not officially inform some of the people working on the project before announcing the cancellation.
What makes the situation even more striking is that Ayaz had only participated in marketing shoots for the project a few months prior. The actor stated that he thought everything was going well and expected the game to be released this year. This suggests that active plans and schedules were still in place when the remake was cancelled.
Later in the video, Ayaz also talks about the impact of the cancellation on his career. He says he had planned his life around the project’s release, and even initiated legal proceedings to secure work opportunities in the US thanks to the visibility it would gain. However, the cancellation of the game and the fact that his name is no longer officially associated with the project have completely thwarted these plans. The cancellation of The Sands Of Time Remake serves as another reminder that not just a game, but the hard work of many developers and players, has been quietly shelved.
