Sidescroller PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE LOST CROWN Marks The Return Of A Series

Out of everything revealed at Summer Game Fest this year, the lead trailer of the showcase was a very surprising announcement. Bringing back a classic series, Ubisoft opened the showcase with the reveal of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, an action-adventure platformer game set in a mythological Persian world.

Players will embody Sargon, a young, gifted warrior, and member of an elite group called The Immortals. As they are sent to rescue Prince Ghassan, they will explore Mount Qaf, a once wondrous place, now cursed and hostile. Sargon and his brothers-in-arms will soon discover that time itself will be a treacherous foe and that the world balance must be restored.

The gameplay for this title was inspired by the Metroidvania genre and lets players explore a handcrafted world at their own pace. From the majestic Citadel of Knowledge to the colorful landscapes of the Hyrcanian Forest, players will discover a variety of environments inspired by Persian mythology. By acquiring new time powers, unlocking unique abilities, and combining them in combat, Sargon will progressively delve deeper into Mount Qaf, solving puzzles, finding secrets, and completing exciting side quests.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is set to launch on January 18, 2023, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Amazon Luna, as well as, Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store.
