Internet sleuths got their hands on early footage and gameplay info of a long-awaited PS5 remake of a popular PS2 game. Ubisoft acted fast and struck down alpha videos of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time from YouTube, but not before mirrors cropped up elsewhere.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time PS5 remake coming sooner than you think
Ubisoft had announced a release date window of 2026 for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A couple of days ago, Insider Gaming claimed that the game was planned for a January 2026 release. Now, leakers have managed to access an internal presentation with information we didn’t have before.
We won’t embed anything here for obvious reasons, but curious souls can find links to the presentation on Reddit.
If you prefer a written summary, the presentation sheds light on the character of Princess Farah, who is described as “cold-hearted, graceful, and strong-willed.” Although not a playable character, players will learn a lot more about her backstory in the remake, including her romance with the prince.
Gameplay-wise, time powers will return along with “rewind, slow time, stop time, and the mighty power of unleashing time.” Iconic puzzles and platforming are still the main focus, but with robust character control and a diverse range of moves. Combat has also been modernized.
Parkour has been rebuilt, and looks pretty good. Frankly, if there’s one thing Ubisoft is good at, it’s parkour, so we’re confident about this one.
Last but not least, The Sands of Time remake may add two new locations.
Keep in mind that this is an internal presentation from early 2024, and it’s possible that not all changes will make it into the final product.
