Press Kit for Canceled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Sells for $1999

A press kit for the canceled remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2026), which was canceled last month, has appeared on eBay. The "artifact" has already been purchased for $1999. Only 110 such kits were produced, and they were intended for the press.

The press kit includes a replica of the main character's sword and a wooden stand. It is likely that several similar lots will appear on online auction sites in the future. And they will almost certainly ask for more money for them.

Recall that the remake of The Sands of Time, along with five other games, was canceled due to a "reorganization" at Ubisoft. Gamers criticized this decision, and the giant's stock plummeted by more than 30 percent. However, the management is confident that this is the right decision.

According to the well-known insider j0nathan, the game was practically ready—all that remained was literally "to fix a couple of bugs." So who knows—maybe one day the completed version of the game will actually delight users online, as was the case, for example, with the GoldenEye 007 remake for Xbox 360 or Half-Life for Dreamcast.
