Ubisoft first announced that it was remaking the beloved action-adventure game, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, back in September 2020, but five years on, the game has yet to even get a release date. This week, Ubisoft assured fans that development is still ongoing–but provided little detail on the game’s current state.
In tweets posted from the Prince of Persia account, the company shared that „development continues behind the scenes,“ and it thanked fans „for sticking with us“ throughout the protracted process. Ubisoft also provided an (admittedly beautiful) piece of art ostensibly from the remake, which you can see in the embed below.
Yep, we’re still deep in the game — exploring, building, and ensuring the sands move with purpose. 🗡️⏳
This game is being crafted by a team that truly cares, and they’re pouring their hearts (and a lot of coffee) into every step.
Thank you for sticking with us. 💖 pic.twitter.com/9bKjZHjmur

In its most recent earnings call, Ubisoft shared that it plans for the remake to launch by the end of its current fiscal year; this means that the game would be released by March 31, 2026, at the latest. This was a refinement on its previous announcement of a 2026 release window, which itself followed multiple reports of development woes.
