Back in 2020, Ubisoft officially announced and unveiled their remake of the classic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Initially planned to launch in early 2021, the game was delayed multiple times and even rebooted – changing development studios along the way. Many years later, it seems the game is nearing completion, with it set to arrive this fiscal year.
As part of Ubisoft’s latest fiscal earnings report, the publisher offered an update on the long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, stating:
“The FY2025-26 [April 2025 – March 2026] guidance will benefit from strong back-catalog that will notably rely on Assassin's Creed Shadows and the release of Siege X which is expected to strongly grow franchise net bookings, regular partnerships as well as the following line-up: Anno 117: Pax Romana, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence. Other titles will be announced at a later stage.”
While of course focused on more than just The Sands of Time, this represents a rather significant update for the game, with the previous report from almost a year ago penning the title for a vague 2026 release.
While this could still happen, it is encouraging to know that The Sands of Time Remake could arrive as early as this year. It will be interesting to see what the game looks like when it is finally re-revealed – and whether fan complaints will have been addressed.
