The confirmation cuts off a run of speculation that the remake might show up during the December 11 ceremony. That chatter picked up after reports suggested a January 2026 launch window, including a tip pointing to a possible mid-January release on PS5. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake was first announced in 2020 and has weathered a bumpy development cycle, including a documented restart in 2022. Early leaked footage and materials previously circulated online and hinted at changes to characters and structure, such as an earlier leak showing Farah as a more active presence.
With the Game Awards appearance off the table, the developer will need another platform to show new footage or firm up release details ahead of the January window. Fans who expected a trailer at the December 11 broadcast will now be watching Ubisoft’s channels for any surprise updates. Have thoughts on the remake’s silence?
