In August of this year, Guatemalan retailer MAX listed "Prince of Persia Remake" for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and immediately removed the information from their website. Eventually, Ubisoft officially confirmed that the game was real, and that it was actually a remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
While Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was now officially real, it was only announced for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC; no Nintendo Switch announcement in sight, to the dismay of many. What's interesting, though, is that the Nintendo Switch version of the game has been listed by retailers even after the announcement.
About a month and a half after Ubisoft made the announcement official, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the Nintendo Switch was listed on Portuguese retailer GamingReplay, sparking rumours, once again, that the game was indeed coming to Nintendo's popular handheld hybrid system.
Adding more fuel to the rumour, recent information has revealed that the Nintendo Switch version of the game is anything but confirmed by Ubisoft, as Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has suddenly popped up on not one but two Greek retailers.
According to the information posted on Resetera, and shout-outs to the people over at Go Nintendo for the heads up, these retailers are Game Explorers and The Console Club, although the latter has since removed the game from their database, but Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the Nintendo Switch can still be found on Game Explorers' website right now.
It is worth mentioning that these listings don't officially confirm anything, but there's more than enough evidence that suggests a Nintendo Switch version of the recently announced Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is very real, but we still can't confirm this until Ubisoft makes it official. Until then, take this information with a pinch of salt.
