The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is still in progress according to a recent announcement from the official Prince of Persia X account.
The development team is working diligently on the game despite facing challenges.
The remake, first announced in 2020 for a 2021 release, underwent a 'reboot' in 2023, shifting development from Ubisoft Pune to Ubisoft Montreal.
The Prince of Persia X account previously assured players that the project was 'very much alive' after the reboot.
The game's latest expected release year is 2026, as revealed in the June 2024 Ubisoft Forward showcase.
The absence of a Ubisoft Forward showcase at this year's Summer Game Fest prompted the recent announcement to confirm the game is still in development.
The Sands of Time remake is planned to launch on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.
Ubisoft recently made headlines by creating a new unit backed by Tencent, the Chinese publisher, with a significant investment of $1.3 billion.
Tencent now holds a 25% stake in this new unit focused on major franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six Siege.
This financial partnership reflects Ubisoft's strategy to address its financial challenges.
