Key Highlights:

- The game has previously faced a multitude of delays and revamps.
- Fans are in despair after being kept in the dark for too long.
The Game Awards 2025 is almost upon us, and it very likely will bring with it a series of announcements and world premieres. It has been heavily speculated that the Sands of Time remake will be making an appearance at this year’s Game Awards before, but that does not seem to be a possibility anymore.
This is a rather unfortunate turn of events, given how much the game has already been delayed up until this point. That being said, here’s what we know about the game’s current state and the series of events that led to this announcement.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Is Not Making an Appearance at This Year’s Game Awards
To the disappointment of many, the heavily delayed and much anticipated Sands of Time remake (from the modern 3D Prince of Persia series) has been confirmed to not making an appearance during TGA 2025.
Replying to a fan account, the official Prince of Persia X account broke the unfortunate news surrounding the Sands of Time remake. This contradicts what was reported a few weeks earlier, and remains quite puzzling.

The game should still be on track to release in the first half of 2026 though, unless things don’t go smoothly. It’s no secret that the journey to the release of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake has been a long and perilous one, with the project being delayed years and undergoing multiple iterations.
Many were hoping to finally catch a glimpse of polished, real time gameplay from the often neglected franchise, but that will have to wait, it seems.
