The Prince of Persia series, in general, is pretty well-known, but arguably the most popular game in the franchise is probably Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. As such, it doesn’t come as a surprise when countless fans were overjoyed at the news of its remake.
Even though the remake was initially only announced for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, a leak from Ubisoft itself has revealed that the game may be getting a Nintendo Switch version as well. Developer and publisher Ubisoft has been notoriously leaking valuable information about games lately, with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time being one of them.
Fans were able to gather quite a bit of information just by checking out the Ubisoft store pages, especially when it comes to Nintendo Switch versions. The information was discovered by Reddit user NayamAmarshe, who was quick to post their findings on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit.
Sands of Time Remake’s Switch version appeared on Ubisoft website, still no official confirmation from Ubisoft yet from GamingLeaksAndRumours
They shared a screenshot and a link to Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time store page as proof. At the time of writing, Ubisoft still hasn’t updated or changed the page, and the Switch option is still available.
As you can see, the game’s page has the “Switch” option available on the list of platforms for those who want to preorder Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. It’s worth mentioning that if you do choose the Switch option, the page removes the “Add to Cart” button available on the other platforms and changes it to a simple “Sold Out,” along with the words “Out of Stock” above it.
However, the fact that it’s not available now doesn’t cancel out the possibility of the game getting released on Switch in the future. Ubisoft hasn’t addressed this leak just yet to either confirm or deny its verity, but leaks by the company were proven to be accurate in the past, so fans have a good feeling about this one.
Along with the fact that other retailers have also created a listing for the alleged Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Nintendo Switch version a few months ago, this leak is undeniably becoming even more credible.
Even though there’s overwhelming evidence that leads to the game possibly receiving a Switch version, all this information should still be taken with a pinch of salt, especially since Ubisoft hasn’t officially announced this yet. Plus, so many things could still happen between now and the game’s official release.
For one thing, there’s a chance that a simple technical error may have caused the Switch option to appear in the list of platforms even though a Switch version isn’t actually available or planned. Another possibility is that a Switch edition for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is truly in the works, but it won’t be released at the same time as the others. At this point, it’s anyone’s guess and we’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out.
That being said, we’re definitely crossing our fingers that this leak is true, especially since a Switch version of the game would be extremely convenient given how handy and portable the Nintendo Switch is. It may not be as powerful as the other platforms, but this fact alone will most likely keep the console relevant for a long time — at least until a newer, more enhanced version gets released.
