The recent report claiming that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake could be released in early 2026 stems primarily from Insider Gaming, where industry insider Tom Henderson revealed on the latest episode of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast that sources close to the game indicate a mid-January 2026 launch. This timeline aligns with Ubisoft’s H1 FY2026 financial results, which confirm the remake as one of two major titles planned for release by the end of Q4 (April 2026), narrowing the window to early 2026 and positioning it ahead of the Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake. Sources also suggest a likely reveal or next-look trailer at The Game Awards on December 11, 2025, where an official release date could be announced.
Originally announced in 2020, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake faced multiple delays. In 2022, the project was transferred to another Ubisoft studio, where both its visual style and gameplay design were completely reworked. According to sources, the newly targeted release window reflects a more stable stage of development.
