Ubisoft has finally given word on a release window for the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, stating that the game will launch by the end of March 2026.
In its earnings call today, Ubisoft revealed that it plans for the Sands of Time remake to drop in fiscal year 2025-26, which officially ends on March 31, 2026. This significantly narrows down the release timeline for the game, as previously the publisher had only said it was coming in 2026.
This release window would mark nearly six years since the announcement of the game. Ubisoft originally teased the Sands of Time remake way back in 2020 for last-gen consoles. Since then, it has had a rocky development process, switching developers a few years ago following fan backlash to the original trailer and a missed launch date. It’s probably safe to say at this point that the remake, now in the works at Ubisoft Montreal, will come to current-gen consoles.
In guidance to investors, Ubisoft is positioning the remake as part of a FY2025-26 lineup that is meant to stabilize the company’s finances. In addition to the remake, its upcoming slate includes Anno 117, The Division Resurgence, and Rainbow Six Mobile. However, the publisher also announced that it is delaying multiple titles out of the current fiscal year and will have to continue cost-cutting measures in the near future.
This comes on the heels of a long stretch of bad news for the company, including several rounds of layoffs, studio closures, and decreasing profits. Ubisoft recently announced a corporate restructuring meant to consolidate efforts on its tentpole franchises Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six, and Far Cry, and to integrate a large new investment from Tencent.
