Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake announced

Seventeen years later, the classic 2003 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is getting a remake, and it’s launching early next year.

Ubisoft revealed the remake during its most recent Ubisoft Forward digital event. The remake is getting several modern updates to the game, including new lighting and updated graphics, an enhanced combat system with a target-lock mechanic, and even new voice-over and motion-capture performances from some of the original actors.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is launching on January 21st, 2021, for Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Uplay or the Epic Games Store.

Update: A tweet from Ubisoft France, which was quickly removed, also claimed that the game is coming to Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia, so maybe the publisher is saving that announcement for later.
