VG247 stated that the developer has yet to give a reason for the change, but the console versions remain on track for a release in May.

This will not come as a surprise to many PC gamers, who are typically becoming shunned more and more by Ubi; first by pushing back the release date to Assassins Creed II, and then by attaching some very nasty DRM to it.

Ubisoft did however comment that claims of the new DRM in ACII being cracked already were false.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands releases for consoles on May 18th and in June for the PC.
