Just one week after adding Ubisoft Toronto<\/a> to the list of studios trying to get Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake finished, Ubisoft gave us a new release target during its big livestream today\u2014and it's, uh, 2026.<\/p>\n

That seems like an awful lot of time to remake a game that already exists, especially with two of Ubisoft's biggest studios on the case\u2014because remember, Ubisoft Montreal is still working on it too. But it's already been in the works for twice that amount of time<\/a>, although to be fair it was completely rebooted in 2023<\/a> for reasons that have never been made clear.<\/p>\n

By that metric, then, it'll only be three years of development time, which is still a long haul unless the plan is to significantly change the game\u2014but if that's the case, why not just make a whole new game?<\/p>\n

Regardless of its reasons, Ubisoft pretty clearly has nothing to show for the time and effort that's been put into the Sands of Time Remake so far, because the big reveal today was this:<\/p>\n
