It seems like we’ll have to wait a while longer to see any more of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. An announcement from the game’s Twitter account revealed that it wouldn’t be included in Ubisoft’s upcoming E3 showcase event.

The post was made to ensure that fans didn’t build up any expectations only to be let down. “We are making great progress for our game to release next year,” wrote the game’s development team in the post, “but we are not ready to share any additional information just yet. We will share an update as soon as we are ready.”

The game was originally revealed last September and received a mostly negative reception. Critics chastised the trailer’s graphics for looking subpar, with some saying the game’s original release boasted better visuals. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was originally set to release on January 21, 2021, before being delayed indefinitely.

At the moment, it’s not clear when we’ll see any of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake again. Today’s post from the game’s Twitter account ended with this statement: “We’re looking forward to the moment when we will be able to share more with you!”

The Ubisoft Forward event is set to take place at noon PT on June 12. While the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake won’t be present at the showcase, the next Rainbow Sixgame will be, along with Far Cry 6 and updates for other Ubisoft games such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Rainbow Six Siege.

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag

After multiple rounds of rumors and leaks, Ubisoft has officially confirmed a Worldwide Reveal Showcase for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. The reveal was first rumored for last week, only for fresh rumors to push it to this week instead. Ubisoft has now put that speculation to rest.

The event goes live on April 23 at 9AM PDT / 4PM UTC / 6PM CEST on YouTube. Ubisoft even leaned into the whole saga, dubbing it "Gaming's Worst Kept Secret" in its teaser video. That's hardly an exaggeration given how long the rumors have been circulating online.

OnePlus’ gaming controller for phones has a neat little charging trick that you’ll love
The new add-on does more than add buttons, it could make charging and cooling much less awkward during longer phone gaming sessions
Body Part, Finger, Hand

OnePlus’ new controller for the Ace 6 Ultra looks like another attempt to turn a phone into a handheld, but the smarter idea is the open space in the middle. OnePlus says that section is meant for cooling, and the company’s promo images make clear that this isn’t just a grip with triggers bolted on. It’s a design that tries to leave room for heat management and easier power options at the same time.

OnePlus is still selling it on gaming features, including four physical buttons, hybrid touch-and-button controls, micro-switch inputs, a 1 kHz polling rate, and a claimed 1.8 ms response time. But comfort over time is the more convincing pitch, especially for shooters that punish awkward hand positions and a hot phone.
