Prince of Persia The Lost Crown Announced; Arriving on January 18 for PC and Consoles including Switch
During the opening of Summer Game Fest 2023, Ubisoft revealed Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
No, this isn't Ubisoft's upcoming Sands of Time remake, but a new 2.5D game entirely. Going by the announcement trailer, we're looking at a Prince of Persia meets Metroid Dread-style action title, and it's looking quite spectacular. We've included the announcement trailer below alongside some screenshots from that trailer below:
"In this brand-new adventure, players will embody Sargon, a young, gifted warrior, and member of an elite group called The Immortals", the official press release from Ubisoft reads. "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."
"Inspired by the Metroidvania structure, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown 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."
In the upcoming game, Sargon will battle mythical enemies, bosses, and traps while combining platforming and combat with stunning combos via an engaging combat system.
The press release continues, "While exploring this mythical place, players will be fully immersed thanks to the original soundtrack created by Mentrix. The Iranian-born composer mixes both traditional instruments and modern sounds to guide players from one environment to another. Mentrix will be joined by award-winning composer Gareth Coker bringing his own personal touch to convey the epic scale of the boss fights."
Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown launches on January 18, 2024, for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
