Fallout From Ubisoft’s ‘Sands of Time’ Remake Cancellation: Actor Says She Learned Online as Leaks Emerge, HQ Cuts Proposed

Ubisoft says the project was scrapped because it would not meet its quality bar without disproportionate time and cost.

Overview

  • Ubisoft confirmed the remake’s cancellation last week as part of a wider reset that cut six projects, closed two studios, and delayed multiple games.
  • Actor Eman Ayaz said in a video that she worked on the game for about three years, filmed marketing recently, and discovered the cancellation from online reports.
  • Ayaz says NDA limits now prevent her from using the work to pursue roles, ending plans to apply for a U.S. work visa tied to the project.
  • Leaked pre‑alpha workshop images and materials of the remake circulated online before being removed following Ubisoft copyright claims.
  • Ubisoft told GamesRadar+ it has proposed a voluntary mutual termination plan that could affect up to 200 headquarters jobs, pending employee negotiations and approval by French authorities.
