Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is still happening. It is. Ubisoft said so during its Ubisoft Forward livestream. Unfortunately, it’s not happening anytime soon.
After talking about its other two Prince of Persia games released this year, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and The Rogue: Prince of Persia, Ubisoft teased its third take on the classic action-platforming series. With a single title card, Ubisoft confirmed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time still exists, but showed only an image of a lit candle and a date: 2026.
Ubisoft announced its remake for The Sands of Time way back in 2020. At the time, it dropped a trailer showing some updated graphics that were definitely a step up from the 2003 original, but were widely derided as still being extremely dated-looking and unimpressive. The Sands of Time is an all-time classic, and as cool as it’d be to get a remake, what Ubisoft showed didn’t inspire a ton of confidence.
