Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Skips The Game Awards 2025
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Ubisoft has confirmed that the upcoming remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will skip The Game Awards 2025, despite mounting speculation and rumors of a January 2026 release window.
As the gaming community counts down the final days to Geoff Keighley's annual year end celebration, one major absence has just been confirmed. The highly anticipated remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will not make an appearance at The Game Awards 2025, according to a direct update from the project's official social channels. Fans looking for a final gameplay vertical slice or a definitive launch date ahead of the holiday break will need to temper their expectations for the December 11 broadcast.
The announcement comes as a surprise to many players, particularly because industry insiders and reports have pointed toward a potential release window as early as January 2026. Given that rumored proximity to launch, a high profile showcase during streaming's biggest night felt like a logical step for Ubisoft. Instead, the publisher opted to quietly manage community expectations rather than fuel speculation with a surprise trailer.
While missing the big stage leaves players wondering when we will finally see more of the classic platformer's modern overhaul, it highlights a broader shift in how studios handle marketing cycles. Publishers are increasingly skipping massive digital showcase events to drop news on their own terms, keeping community focus hyper-targeted. As originally reported by Game Rant, players will simply have to wait for Ubisoft to pull back the curtain whenever the team is actually ready to show its work.
