The highly anticipated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, a beloved classic, has been the subject of much speculation and excitement. But here's the catch: it seems the game's release, originally rumored for today, January 16th, 2026, is not going to happen.
As we delve into the day, there's been no word from Ubisoft, the French publisher. The sands of time are indeed running out on this particular rumor.
There were hints that the game might make an appearance at The Game Awards, but that was quickly dismissed before Geoff Keighley's show. In the meantime, we've seen a slew of fake stories, some of which even fooled us!
While it's possible that January 16th was once a targeted release date, plans can shift within organizations. Maybe Ubisoft felt the game wasn't quite ready or needed more polish.
We suspect the wait won't be much longer, though. It's been years since its originally intended release, and despite the development reboot, we're betting on an early 2026 launch.
Just not today, it appears.
And this is the part most people miss: the game's development has been a rollercoaster. It's had its fair share of delays and reboots, which is why we're eager to see it finally arrive.
So, what do you think? Are you disappointed by the delay, or do you think it's better to wait for a more polished product? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
