\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

According to esteemed rumour monger<\/a> Tom Henderson, the long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake<\/a> was due to release, well, today \u2013 on 16th January, 2026.<\/p>\n

But, well, it\u2019s not looking likely, is it?<\/p>\n

As we write this, we\u2019re already deep into the day, and not a peep from French publisher Ubisoft. We think the sands of time on this particular rumour are running out.<\/p>\n

There had been rumours that the title may be re-revealed at The Game Awards<\/a>, but that was ruled out prior to Geoff Keighley\u2019s show. Meanwhile, a slew of fake stories have come and gone over the past month or so \u2013 some of them fooling even us<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be fair to Henderson, it\u2019s possible 16th January was a targeted release date at one point, but plans can change internally. Perhaps the publisher didn\u2019t feel it was the right time \u2013 or maybe the game still needs a bit more work.<\/p>\n

Either way, we don\u2019t think we\u2019ll be waiting too much longer for this title. It\u2019s been several years since its originally intended release date, and while we appreciate development has been rebooted since then, we\u2019d put money on an early 2026 release.<\/p>\n

Just not today, it seems.<\/p>\n
