Unboxing Video Reveals Collectible Dagger After Prince of Persia Remake Cancellation
Ubisoft has confirmed the existence of a collectible dagger associated with the canceled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Despite being designed for promotional purposes in 2020, it was never publicly released. A company spokesperson acknowledged that the item was created during the game’s early development phase at Ubisoft’s Pune and Mumbai studios, prior to its reboot at Ubisoft Montreal.
Unboxing Video Raises Questions
An unboxing video recently emerged online, showcasing what appears to be this Prince of Persia collectible dagger. The two-minute footage was initially unlisted on YouTube but gained traction after being shared on social media. It features a “press kit” containing the dagger encased in foam, along with a display stand.
- Item: Replica of the Dagger of Time
- Material: Resin
- Packaging: Wooden box with the game’s logo
The video has sparked curiosity among fans about the game’s development status prior to its cancellation. Although the dagger’s appearance does not provide additional information about the game itself, it raises questions about how close the project was to completion.
The Cancellation Impact
Ubisoft announced last month that it had canceled the Prince of Persia remake. This decision was part of a larger reorganization that included layoffs at multiple development studios. Alongside the cancellation, several other projects, including an unconfirmed Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake, faced delays.
Actress Eman Ayaz, who reportedly played a lead role in the game, expressed her disappointment at losing three years of work due to the cancellation. She emphasized the harsh realities of the entertainment industry, where financial decisions can lead to significant personal impacts.
Ubisoft’s Response
In its official statement, Ubisoft indicated that despite six years of development, the remake was not meeting the quality expectations set for it. The company admitted that continuing the project would require more time and financial investment than they could provide.
As fans reflect on the cancellation, the appearance of the collectible dagger serves as a poignant reminder of what might have been. For further updates on this developing story and other gaming news, visit Filmogaz.com.
