As many of you know, there had been rumours it\u2019d release this month, in January 2026.<\/p>\n<p>She said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve dedicated the last three years of my life to this project and spent those years getting to know the team, which has become like a family to me. I&#8217;ve watched it grow through countless stages of development, and I&#8217;ve waited and waited for the day that it was finally going to be released, and I could finally talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>And this week I found out through the internet that the project has been cancelled. My brother reached out to me on WhatsApp and sent a text asking if I was okay. And I was like, &#8216;Yeah, I&#8217;m okay. Why wouldn&#8217;t it be okay?\u2019 and he sends me a link to an article. That&#8217;s where I read that it has been shelved forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In Ubisoft\u2019s defence, the cancellation probably came as a surprise to the entire team, so it\u2019s possible no one had a chance to contact Ayaz before the news broke. Indeed, she points out that from her perspective everything had been \u201crunning smoothly\u201d and the game was coming \u201cthis year\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is a particularly difficult situation for Ayaz, because it\u2019s clear she considers this her big breakout project.<\/p>\n<p>She explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI can&#8217;t stress enough how much I had planned my life around the release of this project. I had even reached out to entertainment lawyers to obtain an O-1 visa and try to work in the States once this project came out, and I had enough publicity from all that. But because the project has been cancelled and I can&#8217;t publicly attach my name to it, that is no longer an option.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To be fair, the video\u2019s not mopey in the slightest: Ayaz is disappointed but defiant \u2013 she acknowledges that situations like this can occur in the entertainment industry, and she notes that she intends to keep moving forwards.<\/p>\n<p>It does raise questions about just what went wrong here, though: if the game was almost finished, after years of development, why not just release it and recoup some of its presumably significant investment?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s alarming to think Ubisoft couldn\u2019t complete a remake of a PS2 game, and it\u2019s not like the clamour from fans for this project is just going to go away.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:196476,196508 @ 1769508348 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\">\n<header class=\"widget-header\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<div class=\"object-related-list\">\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/a58e4e08e2c93\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Prince of Persia Remake and 5 Other Games Cancelled by Ubisoft\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Prince_of_Persia_Remake_and_5_Other_Games_Cancelled_by_Ubisoft\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Prince of Persia Remake and 5 Other Games Cancelled by Ubisoft<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">As part of a &#8220;major company reset&#8221;
