Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time Remake postponed to an unexpected date

The publisher Ubisoft and the developers Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai have deferred Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake from its previously announced March release date to an unannounced date. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Store, Uplay).

This is the second deadline of the remake. It was originally scheduled to be released on January 21 before being postponed to March 18.
