The Sands of Time Remake

Ubisoft

has announced that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2026)

will launch within the current fiscal year—that is, before April 2026. Previously, the game was expected to release sometime in 2026, which now narrows the launch window to the first quarter of next year, between January and March.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Set for Release by March 2026

During its latest quarterly earnings report, the company shared a list of upcoming titles expected before March 31, 2026:

• Year 117: Roman pax
• Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
• Rainbow Six Mobile
• The Division Resurgence

Additional unannounced projects are also in development and will be revealed in the future.

The project was originally announced in 2020 with the goal of updating the 2003 classic, but poor reception to the first trailer led to a complete reboot in 2023.

The Remake Will Be More Authentic

According to Insider GamingUbisoft has overhauled every aspect of the game since its first reveal. This includes graphics, animations, combat and parkour mechanics, a rewritten story, new motion capture sessions, and more. The original voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, has reportedly been replaced with a Persian actor.

The original 2003 game reignited interest in the franchise, which later received sequels such as Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

Among other news from the presentation, the company noted delays in its blockbuster releases to ensure the desired quality—especially following the strong results of Assassin’s Creed Shadows

which itself had multiple release date changes.
