NEW DELHI: French video game company Ubisoft will hand over the reins for the development of its upcoming Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake to its Indian studios. The company today said its Mumbai and Pune studios will develop the game. Prince of Persia itself is a franchise that has etched its place in the history of gaming. With the Indian government’s ban on the popular battle royale game, PlayerUnknown’s Battleground (PUBG) Mobile, the focus on India’s game development industry has increased. Ubisoft’s decision to have its India studios handle development work could be a sign that the country's studios are ready to take on the competition on a global scale.
