Prince of Persia Remake brings some news and the game seems to have all the cards in its hand to please as many players as possible. Here’s why.
The remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, developed by Ubisoft Montreal, received an update during the recent Ubisoft Forward event. Expected in 2026, this remake promises numerous improvements while maintaining the essence of the original game. In short, what we expect from this type of game and what fans want.
What will the Prince of Persia remake offer?
According to Bio Jade Adam Granger, creative director of the Prince of Persia project, the development philosophy is based on four pillars: sanctification, respect, modernization and addition. These principles guide every decision. Whether it is to keep iconic elements, adapt them slightly, modernize them significantly or introduce new features. We can find out through an interview on the official page.
Some aspects of the game, such as the famous wall-running mechanic and the use of daggers, remain faithful to the original. These elements are considered essential to the game’s identity and are retained as much as possible. The development team also makes it a point to maintain the atmosphere and temporal powers that made the original title so enchanting.
Changes to the program
The Prince of Persia remake introduces significant improvements in level design and world scale. The Azad Palace, for example, has been significantly expanded to provide an even more immersive and impressive experience. This expansion allows for better connectivity between the different areas of the palace and creates a sense of vertigo and grandeur thanks to the capabilities of modern engines.
Combat, a central aspect of the game, also undergoes a modernization. Although some iconic moves such as the jump attack over the enemy are retained. The entire combat system has been reworked to meet the expectations of modern players. Influences from recent games such as Dark Souls and God of War are noticeable, giving the clashes more fluidity and dynamism.
In addition, the Prince of Persia remake will feature a more detailed role for Farah, with new optional narrative content about this character. This addition enriches the story and adds a new dimension to the adventure.
