Prince of Persia: Sands of Time game remake may debut earlier than expected
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake might be released sooner than anticipated. According to a report by PC Gamer, the chief financial officer at Ubisoft, Frederick Duguet, during the recent annual general meeting, said that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is going to be released very soon. Earlier, a report by Insider Gaming claimed that Ubisoft promised to release the game before April 2026, however, now it appears that the game might debut before that. When asked about Tencent's investment in Ubisoft and the new joint venture the companies are forming, Ubisoft's CFO offered a broad overview of how the funds will be allocated. He noted that a portion of the investment will return to Ubisoft, where it will be used "selectively" to support the development of other franchises and to strengthen the company's live games. PC Gamer quoted Duguet as saying: "As you know, we've got some iconic brand names in our catalog that we can either activate or reactivate with little investment. This goes to the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which is going to be released very soon, or even Splinter Cell later on." Repeated delays Originally announced in 2020 with a targeted release in January 2021, the remake has encountered several setbacks. It's gone through multiple delays, shifted between studios, undergone a complete overhaul, and continued to face production hurdles. With Ubisoft's most recent promise, it is likely that the game will be released at least by the mid of 2026, if any other delay does not hit the game. Notably, Ubisoft has attributed the delays to a focus on quality, stating that additional time is needed to ensure strong outcomes for its biggest projects. If this really is the case, then gamers might be inclined to wait patiently, but if, after all this wait, the game fails to deliver on its promise, then it might not be a good name to carry for Ubisoft. What changed between 2021 and 2025 The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake was first announced in 2020, featuring Yuri Lowenthal reprising his role as the Prince and involvement from series creator Jordan Mechner. As reported by The Verge, Lowenthal had commended Ubisoft for staying true to Mechner's original script and jokingly remarked about being chosen over a 'younger, hotter actor.' But after the project was transferred to Ubisoft Montreal in 2022, it's unclear whether either of them is still actively involved.

Prince Of Persia remake is coming in 2026
Can we say there's finally a clear timeline for the much-delayed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake? If you are unaware, Ubisoft has confirmed that The Sands of Time remake will arrive by the end of March 2026. This means the title is expected to launch sometime during Ubisoft's 2025-26 financial year. While that's still a while away, it's at least a concrete window — especially after years of silence, delays and developmental troubles. To give a little recap, the remake was originally announced in 2020, and since then, it has had a rocky journey so far, including fan backlash to its first trailer, developer changes, and the game essentially going back to the drawing latest update came during Ubisoft's earnings report for the 2024-25 fiscal year, where it outlined its plans for the next year and confirmed the Sands of Time remake as part of its upcoming line-up. Alongside the remake, Ubisoft also revealed titles such as Anno 117: Pax Romana, Rainbow Six Mobile, and The Division Resurgence are all targeting the same launch window. But we are here to talk about the Sands of Time remake. While Ubisoft had previously mentioned a vague 2026 timeline, this new statement helps narrow it down to a January-March release. Of course, that is assuming there are no further delays — something fans will be understandably wary of given how long the project has already taken. For those who've been following the game, the journey has been anything but smooth. The original remake was in development at Ubisoft's India-based studios in Mumbai and Pune, but following criticism over poor visuals and a general lack of polish, Ubisoft shifted the project to its Montreal and Toronto teams. This transition brought a major overhaul, with the game reportedly being rebuilt from the ground up, including fresh animations, combat mechanics, and a complete visual familiar with the project have also hinted at a more authentic take on the setting. This includes casting a new actor of Persian origin for the Prince's role, replacing Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced the character in the original the delays, Ubisoft appears committed to delivering a better version of the game than what fans first saw. The success of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown earlier this year has likely helped boost internal confidence, reminding Ubisoft that there is still strong interest in the a fan myself, I am now only waiting for when Ubisoft decides to show the game again. A re-reveal trailer is expected any time now, considering we are less than a year away from the expected release. Stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake.

According to a report by The Verge, this game was originally supposed to be launched in 2021, however, due to some reason it got delayed thrice. As per The Verge, amidst the delays, the game got shipped to a different studio which had to start from scratch which is why it is possible that the game lost its original writer and notable performance of its English voice actor.

According to The Verge, at the time, Lowenthal praised Ubisoft for preserving Mechner's original script and joked about being retained over a 'younger, hotter actor.' However, since the project was handed over to Ubisoft's Montreal studio in 2022, the extent of their current involvement remains uncertain. Fans are left wondering if the changes are truly for the better—or will the remake lack the essence of the original game.
