We have unfortunate news for Prince of Persia fans. Ubisoft has announced that its remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will be delayed indefinitely. The developer team said in its statement: “This extra development time will enable our teams to deliver a remake that feels fresh while remaining faithful to the original.” 

Ubisoft announced the remake in September 2020 with a scheduled release for January 2021. But the company then pushed it back by two months, attributing the delays to the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, its development team looks like it needs a lot more time to work on the game.

While it might have taken Microsoft such a long time to transition from Internet Explorer to its Edge browser, the company is ready to move forward with its Chromium-based browser. Microsoft recently announced that when it releases its cumulative monthly security patch on April 13, it will take Edge's legacy version from Windows 10 machines. And those who don't have the new Edge version will receive it.

The legacy version is the browser that launched alongside Windows 10. It was based on Microsoft's EdgeHTML rendering, which the company rebuilt using Google's Chromium software and launched sometime in June 2020. It then announced a couple of months later that the Legacy Edge version wouldn't receive security updates after March 9 of this year.
