The last few days had fueled expectations around Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Between recent leaks and insider comments, many took it for granted that Ubisoft was preparing its return at The Game Awards 2025, even with the possibility of announcing its release date for early 2026. However, the French company has surprised everyone with a blunt statement: the game will not be present at the event.

The confirmation comes to directly deny the rumors that placed the project in the final stretch of its development. Although Ubisoft does not rule out that the remake is progressing at a good pace, it makes it clear that The Game Awards will not be the chosen stage to show new features. This opens the door to other options, from a presentation at another major event to a revelation through their own channels, something that is becoming increasingly common in the industry.

What to Expect from Ubisoft at The Game Awards Now?

The absence of the The Sands of Time remake does not rule out that Ubisoft has something else prepared. Among the most commented possibilities in recent weeks, the supposed remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag stands out, a project that has been circulating in rumors for some time and that, according to several sources, would be ready to be shown publicly. Its release, like that of Prince of Persia itself, would also point to early 2026.

For now, the only sure thing is that the expected return of Prince of Persia will not be at The Game Awards 2025, despite all the speculation. It remains to be seen when and how Ubisoft will decide to show it to the world.
