<p>Voice actress Eman Ayaz spent three years working on the *Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time* remake, only to discover the project’s cancellation through public news reports just like everyone else.</p>

<p>"I’ve reached the most crushing point in my career," Ayaz shared in a heartfelt YouTube video. Despite the constraints of an ongoing non-disclosure agreement, she addressed the situation candidly. While she avoided mentioning the remake by name, her recent interactions with fans identifying her as Princess Farah make the connection clear.</p>

<p>"My brother sent me a message on WhatsApp asking if I was doing alright," she recalled. "I had no idea anything was wrong until he forwarded me a link to an article. That’s how I found out the project had been permanently shelved."</p>

<p>The timing was particularly jarring for the actress. "Only a month ago, I was recording promotional material for the game," Ayaz noted. "Everything seemed to be moving forward perfectly, and that was the last update I received before the news broke."</p>

<p>Her dedication to the role was absolute. "I turned down multiple other opportunities to stay committed to this project," she explained. "I even continued to perform and record with a broken foot because this character meant everything to me. I reached new emotional heights and discovered layers of my craft I didn't know I possessed."</p>

<p>Although the cancellation means she can no longer officially link her name to the work, she remains proud of her contribution. "It resulted in what I truly believe is the finest performance of my career. Just because something never sees the light of day doesn't mean it wasn't significant," she concluded.</p>

<p>The news arrives amidst broader instability at Ubisoft. The company recently discussed a "voluntary separation proposal" that could result in up to 200 job cuts at its French headquarters.</p>

<p>"Currently, this is a proposal. Final decisions will only be made following discussions with labor representatives and approval from the French authorities," Ubisoft stated.</p>

<p><em>Following a six-year development cycle and multiple internal reboots, the team behind the Prince of Persia remake expressed their regret over the situation, acknowledging the deep disappointment felt by the community.</em></p>
