Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake – release rumors heat up

Rumors are swirling that Ubisoft’s long-delayed remake of the classic 2003 action-adventure game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time could launch imminently via a surprise “shadow drop.” A leaked file named “game-release-tomorrow.png” appeared on a Ubisoft staging site on January 14, 2026, fueling speculation of a Friday release around January 16 or 17. Originally announced in 2020 with a planned 2021 launch, the project faced multiple delays and a full reboot after poor reception to its initial trailer. Handed to a new studio in Montreal, it shifted focus to modernize the time-manipulation mechanics and visuals while preserving the original’s acrobatic combat and puzzle-solving. Ubisoft confirmed a 2026 target, with leaks pointing to mid-January before bigger titles crowd the calendar. Fans hope for significant upgrades over the original PS2-era hit, which sold millions for its innovative Dagger of Time rewind feature. A shadow drop fits Ubisoft’s 2026 strategy, potentially ahead of an Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake, though skeptics cite past delays and question marketing absence. As of January 17, 2026, no confirmation has surfaced, leaving gamers watching Ubisoft Connect closely.
