The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Finally Has a New Launch Window, but We'll Still Have to Wait a While
- On May 14, 2025, Ubisoft announced that the long-delayed remake of the classic Prince of Persia title is slated for release by the end of their 2025-2026 fiscal year, which concludes on March 31, 2026, following a change in development studio.
- The remake's development difficulties included restarting the project, losing original contributors, and shifting development to Ubisoft Montreal in 2022 following fan backlash.
- Originally announced in 2020 with plans for a January 2021 release on last-gen consoles, the game missed its initial launch and was delayed indefinitely to ensure quality.
- Ubisoft projects the remake to support its fiscal year 2025-2026 lineup alongside titles like Anno 117 and Rainbow Six Mobile, aiming to stabilize finances amid restructuring.
- The scheduled launch nearly six years post-announcement marks a prolonged but prioritized effort, reflecting Ubisoft's commitment to delivering a remake faithful to the original game.
