Ubisoft has once again assured fans that the long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is still in development and, at least for now, is aiming for a 2026 release date.

- Development now led by Ubisoft Montreal
- Official social media statement to calm doubts

Ubisoft Montreal takes the reins
The remake was first announced back in 2020, but after multiple delays and a complete reboot of the development process in 2023, Ubisoft Montreal is now leading the project. The team posted a message on X to keep the community in the loop:
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

Visual tease, but no gameplay yet

Still on track for 2026 — at least for now
After going radio silent for months, Ubisoft finally gave a small update during June 2024’s Ubisoft Forward showcase, confirming the 2026 launch window. There was no fresh gameplay reveal at Summer Game Fest, so this social media post serves as the most recent confirmation that the remake is still in active development.
What platforms will it launch on?
According to the official Ubisoft website, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is planned for PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.
Ubisoft’s recent business moves
It’s worth noting that Ubisoft recently split off its biggest franchises — Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six Siege — into a new division, backed by a massive $1.3 billion investment from Tencent. This gives Tencent a 25% stake in the new unit, a move that looks to address Ubisoft’s recent financial challenges.
For now, fans can only wait and hope that the sands really do move with purpose this time.
