Back in 2020, Ubisoft officially announced and unveiled their remake of the classic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Initially planned to launch in early 2021, the game was delayed multiple times and even rebooted – changing development studios along the way. Following confirmation that the remake is slated to release some time during FY2025, Ubisoft has now teased the illusive title.
Taking to Twitter to offer a surprising update, the official Prince of Persia page shared the following: “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.”
For context, the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was first announced back in Autumn 2020 with a January 2021 release date. Reactions towards the trailer were highly critical, leading Ubisoft to delay the title in December of 2020 to March 2021.
Cut to February of 2021 and the game was delayed again – this time with no updated release window. Since then, the game has been delayed a couple more times, changed studios and had its whole development rebooted; leading many to wonder whether the game would ever be released.
With the statement from Ubisoft earlier this year however that the title is planned to arrive during FY2025, and now a more direct update from the team itself, it looks like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake could finally be reaching a stable enough position to show off.
