Ubisoft Teases Imminent Release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
2025-07-21 21:44:09After numerous teasers and updates, Ubisoft has finally confirmed that the highly anticipated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is set to arrive "very soon." Fans of the franchise have been eagerly awaiting this revival since its initial announcement in 2020, and it appears their patience is about to be rewarded.
Originally released in 2003, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remains a beloved classic, celebrated for its engaging narrative, fluid parkour mechanics, and innovative time-rewinding feature. The game follows a young prince as he battles corrupted creatures and navigates treacherous environments using the mystical Sands of Time. Its unique blend of action, puzzle-solving, and platforming set a new standard for the genre in the early 2000s.
During Ubisoft’s recent Annual General Meeting, CFO Frederick Duguet hinted at the imminent release of the remake, describing it as one of the studio’s iconic franchises that could be revitalized with minimal investment. While the exact release date remains unconfirmed, Duguet’s comments suggest the game could arrive ahead of its previously projected March 2026 launch.
Ubisoft has been steadily building excitement for the remake, with the game’s official Twitter account assuring fans that development is progressing under a dedicated team committed to preserving the essence of the original. The studio’s May earnings report had initially pegged the release for March 31, 2026, but Duguet’s recent remarks have sparked speculation about an earlier debut.
In addition to Prince of Persia, Duguet briefly mentioned the Splinter Cell remake, though details were scarce, with only a vague promise of its arrival "later on." For now, fans of The Sands of Time can look forward to more updates as Ubisoft prepares to deliver this long-awaited revival.
The remake aims to modernize the classic while staying true to its roots, offering both longtime fans and new players a chance to experience the magic of the Sands of Time. With Ubisoft’s renewed focus on its iconic IPs, the future of Prince of Persia looks brighter than ever.
