Two years after its last public appearance, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is back in the spotlight for an unexpected reason: an internal presentation of the project has surfaced online, revealing parts of the work that Ubisoft had not shown to anyone outside the studio. The material, which was initially removed due to a copyright claim, has reappeared on several platforms, confirming its authenticity.

The leak corresponds to a ten-minute video, prepared as a presentation for internal groups, which details key elements of the remake, character evolution, and several motion capture sequences. Although the version shown belongs to an early stage of development, it includes new features that were not previously known.

Leaked News from The Sands of Time Remake

The presentation begins with a review of Farah’s role in the remake. The material confirms significant changes in her role and design within the story.

Main Aspects Revealed:

• Farah evolves and takes on a more active role.
  She no longer appears as an innocent companion. In this version, she will have her own arc, new combat animations, and more prominence in key sequences.

• Two new, unseen locations.
  The project includes two completely new areas, rebuilt from scratch, which expand the original route and add more space for the Prince’s parkour.

• Reinterpreted parkour and levels rebuilt from the ground up.
  The video mentions that the world has been “rebuilt from scratch“, not just adapted, with expanded sections for movement and chained jumps.

• Motion capture sequences in action.
  The leak shows several scenes of filming with actors representing dialogues and combat. They correspond to an early version, but they reveal reimagined animations and scenes.

• Complete review of the remake’s story.
  The video guides the attendees through the story structure, showing how certain moments are reorganized and how the changes in Farah are integrated into the Prince’s journey.

An Early Glimpse at Development that Ubisoft Didn’t Want to be Seen

The fact that Ubisoft immediately removed the video due to copyright confirms that it is authentic material from the studio. The leak reveals work at a very early stage of development, but also ideas that seem destined to remain in the final version: a strengthened Farah, expanded scenarios, and a more ambitious approach than the original.

At the very least, it demonstrates that the remake is moving forward and that at some point in its development (at least two years ago) the project was in a fully active phase.
