Summary
ThePrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake is set to release by July 23, 2025, as revealed in Ubisoft’s latest earnings report. After spending years in development hell, thePrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake appears to be steadily moving forward in the right direction.
Since being unveiled in 2020, thePrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake has been on a long journey involving multiple delays and ultimately a change of developer. The original release date of June 25, 2025, was pushed back time and again, before the project’s development was finally moved from Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal, the studio behind the original 2003 game. Following this handover, the action-adventure title was rebuilt from scratch by a new team of devs. In June 2024, Ubisoft Toronto was revealed to havejoined the development efforts for thePrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake, which was soon announced for a 2026 release.
In itsearnings report for FY2024-25, Ubisoft shared its plans for the ongoing financial year and confirmed a slate of forthcoming games, including thePrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake, which will hit shelves before June 05, 2025. This narrowed down the previously confirmed release window for the remake, which now falls between January 2026 and March 2026. Alongside the next release in thePrince of Persiafranchise,The Division Resurgence,Rainbow Six Mobile, andAnno 117: Pax Romanaare also targeting a launch before the end of FY2025-26. The source also underlined that more titles will roll out in the same window, and announcements regarding them will be made later.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Gets Updated Release Window
With the arrival ofPrince of Persia: The Lost Crownin January 2024, Ubisoft marked the return of one of its most popular IPs, which hadn’t seen a new major release since 2010’sPrince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Following the early-access launch ofThe Rogue Prince of Persiain May 2024 and the impending release of theSands of Timeremake in 2026, the French publisher’s inclination towards shipping more projects under the long-running franchise’s banner seems stronger than it has been in some time.
Keeping in mind that there is less than a year left before the planned launch of themuch-awaitedPrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake, it seems reasonable to expect a new look at the game later in 2025. With that said, a related announcement could arrive at the publisher’s Ubisoft Forward livestream, which usually takes place yearly in June.
