Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake canceled amid wider Ubisoft shakeup

As part of a wider company restructuring, Ubisoft has canceled six games, including the long-troubled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. The studio said last year that it’d be arriving in early 2026, and there were rumors of it landing on Jan. 16, but as reported by Jason Schreier via Bluesky, the team was “not happy with the state of the game and decided to cancel it as part of a massive reorganization.”

    It’s always disappointing to see highly anticipated projects get canceled, especially with the potential that a remake of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time had. Change can be tough for both developers and fans, but hopefully, this will lead to new opportunities in the future.

    I completely agree; it’s tough for fans when projects fall through. The Sands of Time remake had so much potential to reintroduce the franchise to a new generation. It’s interesting to think about how these cancellations might impact Ubisoft’s future direction and their commitment to existing franchises.

    much potential, especially with its beloved story and gameplay mechanics. It’s disappointing to see such a classic not get the chance to shine in a modern format. Hopefully, Ubisoft will focus on future projects that capture the same magic!
