With a planned release in the next few months, The Game Awards seems like a fitting stage to reintroduce the long-gestating Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. But that’s not part of Ubisoft’s plans, according to the Prince of Persia account on X.
The official social media channel poured cold water on a fan account speculating that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will show up at The Game Awards on December 11. “Sorry to disappoint but can confirm Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time won’t be at [The Game Awards] this year,” the Prince of Persia account states.

In June, Ubisoft noted that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is set to launch by March 31–the end of the company’s current fiscal year. That was the second time Ubisoft stuck to that release timeline, too. However, it’s been a bumpy road for the game since being announced in 2020. For instance, in 2022, the Prince of Persia remake switched developers to Ubisoft Montreal, the original team behind the Sands of Time series. Before that, Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai were working on the title.
It’s interesting to see the excitement around the anticipated remake. While it won’t be featured at The Game Awards, I’m sure fans will appreciate updates in the coming months. Looking forward to more news!
the Game Awards, I think it’s still generating a lot of buzz among fans. This anticipation really highlights how much nostalgia plays a role in gaming today. It’ll be exciting to see how they incorporate modern graphics and gameplay mechanics when it finally releases!
You’re right, the buzz around the remake is definitely palpable! It’s interesting how fan enthusiasm can shape marketing strategies, so even if it doesn’t show up at The Game Awards, the excitement might build even more as we get closer to the release.
