Usually gone or retooled for something else. Even just within the Prince of Persia series, they had a game called Prince of Persia: Assassins that was canceled and turned into Assassin's Creed. There was also a sequel to Prince of Persia 2008 in development that was cancelled and never showed up again. You can even find footage from both of these games online, but they will never see the light of day unless someone leaks them (which does happen sometimes).

I loved Prince of Persia, bummed to hear the re-launch has been shelved.
Just last week it was revealed that it had gotten an ESRB rating (now removed). So it must have been pretty far along in development.

What happens to all that content/work when this sort of thing happens? Just gone gone or?

Sands of Time still has one of the best time reversal mechanics in any game I’ve played despite being 20 years old.
