Eman Ayaz announced the cancellation of a project where she was to play a key role
Actress Eman Ayaz shared difficult news with her followers: a project she had been preparing for over three years and had high hopes for was suddenly cancelled. Although the artist did not name the game directly, she retweeted discussions linking her to the role of Farah in the upcoming remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
According to Ayaz, she went through a lengthy audition process and was genuinely thrilled to get the role. She described the project team as a "family" she was fortunate to work with. The actress admitted she had long wanted to talk about her work but learned about the cancellation not from colleagues, but from relatives — they came across the news in the media.
I was in complete shock. Just two months ago, I was filming for this project's promotional campaign. Everything was going smoothly, and that was the last I heard about it. We were all eagerly awaiting the release this year, so the news was an emotional blow for me.
The actress also noted that due to her involvement in the project, she had turned down other offers. For her and her colleagues, the cancelled game will forever remain something special — the fruit of the team's labor and genuine passion.
The situation fits into Ubisoft's large-scale decision, which recently announced the cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and five other games. This is part of a revision of the studio's development strategy.
The community's reaction has been sharply negative: gamers have actively criticized the decision, and the stock market felt a tangible blow — Ubisoft's shares fell by more than 30%. Nevertheless, the company's management insists that such measures are necessary for the long-term strengthening of the studio's position and focusing on more promising projects.
