According to recent reports, the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is now expected to launch in mid‑January 2026, for PC and major consoles — meaning this classic will return at the start of the new year.

The source is a disclosure on the Insider Gaming podcast/report, which claims to have internal information from the publisher, Ubisoft. According to that, the release window has been significantly narrowed, with marketing expected to begin only about one month before launch — making the upcoming The Game Awards 2025 (TGA) a likely moment for the official announcement or first major trailer.

For background, the remake was first announced in 2020, initially slated for release in early 2021. However, harsh fan feedback to the first trailer triggered a complete overhaul of the project. Development was moved to a new team (Ubisoft Montreal) and was later joined by other internal teams.

Over the long development period, the project has repeatedly been delayed. However, according to the latest financial report disclosures from Ubisoft, the remake remains on track to arrive within fiscal year 2026 — with newly reported leaks now pointing toward January 2026 as the target.

For many longtime fans and newcomers alike, this remake, if released in January, could mark a significant revival of the series. It wouldn’t just be nostalgia, but potentially a renewed push to re‑establish the franchise in the modern AAA space.
