Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake switch version listing spotted online ahead of the launch in January

Earlier in September, Ubisoft had formally announced the much rumoured Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. The announcement was made at the company's Ubisoft Forward event. The developer had acquired the rights to the Prince of Persia franchise from Mattle Interactive in 2003 and has since then sold over 14 million copies, made into a blockbuster film and has even got a line of Lego sets affiliated with it. According to a report in Nintendo Enthusiast, at that time, Ubisoft only stated that the game would be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in January. However, its own website offered an option to preorder the game on Nintendo Switch at an (inactive) Nintendo page.[caption id="attachment_8995961" align="alignnone" width="1280"]
