Throughout as we speak’s Ubisoft Summer time Recreation Fest showcase, the writer took a second to acknowledge that, sure, its long-in-development and oft-delayed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake continues to be being made. However when you needed to play it quickly…dangerous information. It received’t be out till someday in 2026.
Right here’s the super-short teaser that debuted in the course of the UbiForward 2024 occasion. It reveals mainly nothing however a 2026 date:
The unique Prince of Persia: Sands of Time launched in 2003 and was an enormous hit, resulting in a full trilogy of sequels. In September 2020, Ubisoft introduced its plans to remake the favored third-person action-platformer and the plan was for it to reach in 2021. Nonetheless, in December 2020 the sport bought delayed. Then it bought delayed indefinitely in February 2021. Then in Could 2022, Ubisoft introduced that Ubisoft Montreal—the OG studio behind the unique Sands of Time trilogy—was taking on the troubled venture. On the time it sounded just like the studio was constructing off what got here earlier than. However that wasn’t the case as we realized in Could 2023.
Now, right here we’re in 2024 and Ubisoft has a brand new, very quick teaser confirming the sport continues to be being developed. Throughout the occasion, Ubisoft confirmed that time-bending powers and motion could be a core a part of this upcoming venture. Th teaser appears to be like good and appears to have related vibes as Sands of Time. Which is good, I assume.
Nonetheless, at this level, gamers should wait till 2026 to see if the almost decade-long improvement cycle ends in a sport price this lengthy of a wait. It’s yet one more sport struggling to get out the door, one thing Ubisoft has continued to have issues with over the previous few years. We will see.
