‘Prince of Persia’ Remake: When Will Ubisoft Finally Deliver the Long-Awaited Revival?

India, Nov 24 : For years, fans of the Prince of Persia franchise have waited like travellers in a desert, hoping for even a hint of progress on the long delayed Prince of Persia remake. Now, it appears the sands may finally be shifting.
A new report suggests that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake could launch in January 2026, offering fresh hope to gamers who have been waiting since the project was first announced more than five years ago.
According to Insider Gaming, known for accurate industry leaks, trusted sources claim Ubisoft is quietly preparing for the classic action-adventure game’s long-awaited return. If the report holds true, the remake is not only advancing it’s nearly ready for the spotlight.
Reveal Expected at The Game Awards 2025
Insider Gaming’s report indicates that Ubisoft plans to showcase the remake at The Game Awards in December, giving fans their first substantial look at the project since the brief CGI teaser in 2020. Since then, official updates have been minimal, leaving the community uncertain about the game’s future.
