ince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Pre-Alpha March 2024 Presentation Leaked Online

Did you really think Ubisoft was going to quietly save Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake after all this time? Well, surprise—someone just leaked an early 2024 pre-alpha presentation and, let’s just say, you’re not missing much. So, what’s the deal here—do they really think nostalgia will blind us to mediocrity?

The leaked presentation shows off the very rough bones of this so-called remake. You’ll see new textures, supposedly improved character animations (don’t expect miracles), and lighting that screams “hey, it’s 2024, let’s at least try to look modern.” What’s wild is how basic it all looks. And it’s not charmingly retro—it’s half-baked. The game that defined time-rewinding platforming deserves more, but what’s on display could pass for a last-gen mod if you squint. Oh, and let’s not talk about the cutscenes—stiff doesn’t even begin to describe them.

Ubisoft Paris and their satellite studios promised a ground-up remake, fresh assets, reworked gameplay—the works. But the footage tells another story: bugs everywhere, janky movement, and a Prince with the personality of a mannequin. Is it really this hard to reimagine a legend? It almost feels like they’re stalling, hoping we’ll be distracted by the thousand other remakes flooding the market. Honestly, the visual upgrade is barely noticeable in spots, and fans will notice where corners got cut. The sands of time must’ve run out in their budget.

Who’s even asking for this version? Look, hardcore fans might keep an eye out of sheer nostalgia (or for meme potential), but newcomers will just wonder why this supposedly iconic game looks so out of touch now. If you want to show your friends why Prince of Persia was cool, just boot up the original and save yourself the headache (and the embarrassment).

For folks in the UAE, don’t hold your breath waiting for something mind-blowing. Maybe you’ll see this mess pop up at Datcart or local retailers if Ubisoft ever dares to finish it. Unless they seriously overhaul what we’ve seen, the remake will be more of a cautionary tale than a comeback.
