Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake finally gets its release window

Ubisoft’s remake for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has emerged from the shadows once again. After several delays and the development studio changing from Ubisoft Prune to Ubisoft Montreal, fans have finally gotten a release window for the remake at Ubisoft Forward on Monday. According to the showcase, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is scheduled to release in 2026.

The developers shared a brief visual teaser of the game showing a candle being relit after time rewinds. Other than that and the release year, the developers didn’t share any new details.

Ubisoft originally planned to release Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in 2021. In spring 2023, a developer Q&A and FAQ shared the game was at the “conception phase.” However, developers assured players the game was “very much alive,” but just in an “early stage of development.”

Ubisoft released the original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in 2003 on Game Boy Advance, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Windows PC, and Xbox. It was developed by Ubisoft Montreal. Ubisoft released an original game in the series, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, in January 2024.
