“It’s Not What the Series Deserves”: Remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Receives Heavy Critics

On yesterday’s live broadcast of Ubisoft Forward, viewers were presented with a remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which had already been featured on the Web. The announcement was accompanied by a trailer and a story from the developers about the project. The audience was not happy with what they saw, to put it mildly. They began to massively criticize the reissue, mainly for visual appearance.

Remarks

The trailer for the remake of The Sands of Time on the official Ubisoft YouTube channel at the time of this writing has scored almost 80 thousand views.

TheNafig: “Very funny Ubisoft. So when will you show the real remake? “
Sagittarius: “This is not what this episode deserves. “
