new prince of persia remake delayed until 2026

Ubisoft has confirmed that the Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake will be released in 2026. Announced during the Ubisoft Forward 2024 event, this news comes after a series of delays and a shift in development from Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal. The remake is now in its "full production phase" with additional support from co-dev studios in Toronto, Bucharest, Paris, and Pune. Originally released in 2003 on PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and PC, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time garnered both critical and commercial success. Ubisoft also announced updates for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and The Rogue Prince of Persia, with new content releasing soon.

The delays in the Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake were due to several factors, including a shift in development from Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal, various project milestones, and the need for extended development time to ensure quality.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a classic action-adventure game that first debuted in 2003. It is renowned for its innovative gameplay mechanics involving time manipulation, parkour-style movement, and compelling narrative. The game's initial success led to several sequels and became a significant title in Ubisoft's portfolio. The remake aims to bring modern graphics and updated gameplay while retaining the charm of the original.
