Ubisoft says its Prince of Persia remake will finally arrive by early 2026

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was primitively expected to arrive connected January 21st, 2021. Since then, it’s been delayed 3 times, got shipped to a antithetic studio, reportedly started implicit from scratch, and may person mislaid the archetypal writer and astonishing performances of its English dependable actor. But Ubisoft has revealed the crippled is yet connected the mode — and volition spell connected merchantability earlier April 2026, as spotted by Insider Gaming.

In Ubisoft’s latest net release, the institution reveals that it expects the Prince of Persia remake to beryllium 1 of the games that volition assistance its bottommost enactment during the adjacent fiscal year, FY2025-2026. Since Ubisoft’s FY2024-2025 ended connected March 31st, 2025, that means the caller crippled volition person to spell connected merchantability earlier March 31st, 2026.

But that besides means it could get immoderate clip now. We’re already 2 months into FY2025-2026. I’d beryllium amazed if we didn’t get an announcement at the Summer Game Fest adjacent month.

Ubisoft suggests that its apical games successful FY2025-2026 volition beryllium Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Siege X, but names Prince of Persia arsenic 1 of the games that’ll lend alongside Anno 117: Pax Romana, Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence.

I’m eagerly awaiting the accidental to effort it, arsenic the archetypal is 1 of my apical 5 favourite games of each time. I loved its storytelling, dependable acting, unthinkable music, and its then-groundbreaking quality to rewind time. But I won’t contradict I’m a spot worried.

Both Yuri Lowenthal — the Prince’s iconic English-language dependable histrion — and Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner were attached to the remake erstwhile it was announced successful 2020. (Lowenthal erstwhile suggested the remake was going to “keep each of Jordan Mechner’s superb writing” and thanked Ubisoft for not picking a “younger, hotter actor” alternatively of him.) But aft improvement moved to Ubisoft Montréal successful 2022, it’s not wide whether either is inactive involved. Here’s hoping determination was bully crushed to overhaul the game, dissimilar that different clip a crippled institution replaced Yuri Lowenthal’s face!

The remake is acold from the most-delayed crippled astatine Ubisoft, of course: I judge Beyond Good and Evil 2 presently holds the all-time grounds astatine implicit 15 years since it was archetypal announced. Incidentally, the archetypal BG&E crippled shipped conscionable a period aft Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
