News: PoP & BGAE AWOL?
Posted 05 Jan 2004 at 11:58 by Ashley Jones
Prince of Persia and Beyond Good and Evil, two highly anticipated games with good reviews, both only on PS2 at the moment. And it may stay that way.
Towards the end of last year Sony obtained the rights for both of these games to be exclusive for the PS2 during 2003 in Europe. This was seen as a good thing for them, but the titles have not been selling well.
Ubisoft's official website have removed the Xbox and GameCube game pages for these two titles, and Amazon do not have them listed either.
Ubisoft seem to have cancelled both of these titles for the Xbox and GameCube. The only way you can buy them is to import them or buy the PS2 versions.
Ubisoft have not officially spoken about it yet.
Update: Ubisoft Speaks
Cube-Europe just got off the phone with Ubisoft and we are happy to announce that Prince of Persia and Beyond Good & Evil will be released for the GameCube and Xbox in Europe. The company didn't say why the game pages were removed from the official website.
Ubisoft promised it would soon inform us of the official European release date for both titles. So stay tuned to Cube-Europe for more...
