While fans wait for a major release, a possible slip up from Ubisoft has exciting news for Nintendo Switch fans. In the annual Ubisoft Forwards event on September 10, the French developers announced a remake of their classic game Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. They branched out the responsibility of developing the game to the Mumbai studio in India.

In a move to ensure it has enough time to complete the game, the studio moved the launch date ahead. Instead of the previous January 21, 2021 release, the developers scheduled it to release on March 18, 2021. While the trailer from the Forward event didn’t do justice to the remake, fans are still excited for it.
