"Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" Remake has officially been cancelled
After almost 6 years in development, the official Price of Persia and Ubisoft social media accounts have announced the full cancellation of the remake of Sands of Time.
The remake of "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" was announced all the way back in September 2020, with the original release date scheduled for the start of 2021. However, that original date was pushed back in December, with the game then being moved to March 2021, only to be delayed indefinitely the month before the release. Ubisoft's financial reports during that year still showed a 2022-2023 plausible release date for the game.
News broke out again in 2022 regarding the remake, as Ubisoft Montreal took over the development of the game following a restructure, but still, delays happened, and nothing came out about the game until around 2024, where a tentative 2026 release date was announced yet again. Finally, 2025 came around, where the game was scheduled to release either by the end of 2025, or Q1 of 2026.
The new year arrived, and on January 21st, 2026, the official Prince of Persia and Ubisoft social media accounts announced a definitive stop in the development of the remake, officially cancelling the remake after years and years of internal delays and struggles.
This becomes yet another bump in the road for Ubisoft, after a long chain of bad reception and releases.
