The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A slick but permanently frozen acrobatic fantasy where every wall-run and time-rewind hangs in limbo, never released.

About

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was the cancelled remake of the 2003 game of the same title that led to arguably the most successful reboot of the franchise yet. Announced almost exactly 10 years after the previous AAA Prince of Persia title's release, this game was an attempt to revive the franchise back to life. During its reveal at Ubisoft Forward (September 2020), the game was given a January 2021 release date, but later it has been confirmed on various social platforms that the game's release has been pushed back indefinitely until further notice. In January 2026, the game was officially cancelled by Ubisoft to "focus on future games in the franchise".
