Overview
- Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson reports the remake is planned for mid-January 2026, while Ubisoft officially guides to release before April 2026.
- An internal 2024 presentation and alpha gameplay briefly surfaced online and were taken down following a Ubisoft copyright claim, with mirrors circulating afterward.
- The leaked materials indicate Princess Farah remains non-playable but now fights independently with a bow and performs cooperative attacks, removing the need to protect her.
- Combat is described as modernized with returning time powers such as rewind, slow time, stop time, and unleash time, and parkour systems have been rebuilt; some reports note possible new locations.
- After early backlash and delays, development shifted from Ubisoft Pune/Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal with Ubisoft Toronto collaborating, and outlets speculate a re-reveal trailer could appear at The Game Awards on December 12.
