Prince of Persiais easily one of Ubisoft’s most iconic franchises. While the history of the name goes back to 1989, the company’s first installment with the title was in 2003 withPrince of Persia: Sands of Time. The game was available on almost every major platform and became a very popular title for the studio.
Since then, multiple games have been released under the same name, but featuring vastly different characters, art styles, and stories. But, as it happens with nostalgia, the gamer’s heart wishes to return to olden times. Remakes help with this, and we are getting one forSands of Time, but not anytime soon.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Reveals Release Year at Ubisoft Forward
News of the remake was first revealed in 2020, with the project being headed by the Indian Ubisoft studios in Mumbai and Pune. Criticism from some fans delayed the project indefinitely. The reasoning was to create a remake that felt fresh but stayed true to the core elements of the original release.
We finally have some new information about the game revealed during the Ubisoft Forward stream. The incredibly short 30-second CGI trailer is over before it even begins, letting us know the game is slated for release sometime in 2026.

It may be the case that we get to see some gameplay soon, but the studio needs to listen to the fans if they want there to be interest in the title.

It’s good to see the studio branching out and trying new approaches for games in the same franchise. This isn’t new, as there have been games in the past that broke the typicalPrince of Persiaformat, but it’s clear the studio has no plans to let go of this property anytime soon.
However, with such a long wait, it’s up to the developers to release some substantial information for the game and make it soon. Loyalty for a title can only go so far, and it’s only a matter of time before anticipation turns into annoyance.

Gaming was one of my earliest passions then along came writing, and here we are. I’ve been in the content creation space for several years now and as gamer for even longer. From understanding the complexities of a multilayer narrative to the simply joy of “big gun go boom”, my goal is to capture all the emotions in between and put them down in an engaging manner.
