Prince of Persia: Sand of Time Remake has had a pretty rough journey from announcement to release, with its first reveal trailer coming over five years ago at this point. Ever since then, we’ve had a mixture of radio silence, vague updates from Ubisoft via its official Twitter account on quarterly earnings calls, and that’s been about it. We haven’t seen the game outside a CGI candle ever since its first trailer five years ago.
That could be about to change pretty soon though. Earlier this year, Ubisoft hinted in an earnings call that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake would release this fiscal year, as it claimed it was going to include the game’s net bookings. Combined with the game’s already announced 2026 release window, that gave us a three-month gap in which the game would release. However, the release date has been narrowed even further if a new report is to be believed.
Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time Remake To Release January 2026, Claims Insider
The report in question is from Insider Gaming, which has claimed that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake is scheduled to launch before the heavily rumored Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake, which itself is supposedly set to release in the next four months. Not only that, but Insider Gaming claims to have a pretty narrow release date too, and says that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake will launch in mid-January next year.

I’m tired of hitting the same dead ends over and over again.
Of course, that gives Ubisoft roughly a month and a half to actually give us a release date announcement, and the most fitting place for that would probably be The Game Awards next month. Insider Gaming backs that up too, stating that their sources are saying that the next look at the game, as well as a concrete release date announcement, will likely take place at The Game Awards.
Of course, none of this is set in stone just yet, and these kinds of rumors are always worth taking with a pinch of salt. Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson does have a pretty decent track record when it comes to Ubisoft though, and a reveal at The Game Awards feels pretty likely if the company is still on track to release the game this fiscal year. It sounds like our long wait could be over pretty dang soon.
