5 lengthy years after Ubisoft introduced The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, the studio says the sport is releasing “very quickly.”
To be honest, in between the remake’s announcement in 2020 and now was an entire improvement reboot in 2023 that has by no means been formally defined. Nonetheless, with a 2026 launch window, six years is a protracted, very long time to make a sport that already exists.
Ubisoft gave a imprecise tease of the remake’s launch timing throughout the Q&A portion of its latest Annual Common Assembly with traders (thanks, PC Gamer).
Simply to contextualize a little bit, Ubisoft CFO Frederick Duguet was answering a query about Tencent’s funding into the studio and the brand new Tencent-backed Ubisoft subsidiary, and mentioned this about investing a few of that money into its personal franchises:
“As you understand, we have got some iconic model names in our catalog that we are able to both activate or reactivate with little funding,” Duguet mentioned. “This goes to the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which goes to be launched very quickly, and even Splinter Cell afterward.”
Ah, Splinter Cell, the opposite, much more elusive Ubisoft remake that was introduced in 2021 and nonetheless does not have a launch date or window. The final time we heard from Ubisoft on that venture was proper earlier than Summer season Recreation Fest 2025 when it randomly shared an image of protagonist Sam Fisher’s face on social media… after which by no means adopted up with something. Brutal.
As for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Ubisoft assured followers in June that the sport was alive and properly regardless of the relative silence from the studio. “We’re nonetheless deep within the sport — exploring, constructing, and making certain the sands transfer with function,” Ubisoft mentioned on the time.
All of this could be a lot to maintain up with, however our complete information to upcoming Ubisoft video games ought to assist a little bit.
