Taking five years to remake a game about rewinding time is either ironic or genius—either way, I hope the final product makes the wait feel worth it. At least we know Ubisoft Montreal won’t half-step the parkour, given their Assassin’s Creed pedigree.

Honestly, I'm glad they're taking their time—Sands of Time deserves the polish, even if the wait feels like rewinding time over and over. Hopefully, the final product captures that same magic without feeling like a relic itself. 2026 feels like forever, but if it means avoiding another rushed remake disaster, I’ll just keep replaying the original. Fingers crossed Ubisoft Montreal nails the parkour and time mechanics
