of Persia™: The Sands of Time remake.

Originally scheduled for a January 2021 release, the remake has experienced multiple delays and a change in development studios. The project is now being led by Ubisoft Montreal, with support from Ubisoft Toronto, Bucharest, Paris, and Pune. The development team is focused on modernizing the classic while preserving its core elements. Enhancements include updated graphics, refined controls, and enriched character interactions, particularly with the character Farah, who will have a more prominent and developed role.  

With its release, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake is poised to reintroduce the beloved classic to a new generation, blending nostalgic elements with modern enhancements to deliver a refreshed gaming experience.
