Ubisoft Reassures Fans that ‘Sands of Time’ Remake is Still “Being Crafted,” Despite a Lack of Updates

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was released in 2003 and it became one of the most popular platformers at the time, relaunching the original series in a proper way and creating a new timeline for the franchise.

The games that followed were extremely successful, but as you probably know, Ubisoft is planning a return to the roots with a remake of The Sands of Time, something that the fans are eagerly waiting for.

And while the remake was announced a while ago, updates on the development are scarce, which has seen some of the fans worried. Recently, though, Ubisoft decided to break the silence and provided the fans with a reassuring update.

You might remember that the remake was announced back in 2020 for a 2021 release, but had since been delayed indefinitely, reannounced and is now scheduled for a 2026 release, as of late last year.

Still, the game won’t be shown at this year’s Summer Game Fest, and when this is combined with a general lack of updates on the game’s progress, some fans became worried that the game would see another delay or even a potential cancellation.

But, after a long period of silence, Ubisoft has decided to share some information and the developer has reassured fans that the game is still in development:

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. 💖 pic.twitter.com/9bKjZHjmur
