Ubisoft has reignited the Prince of Persia franchise with the announcement of a new game in development, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, at the 2023 Summer Game Fest event. The series, once a pillar of Ubisoft's lineup, has been dormant for over a decade. However, the company is determined to revive it in a big way. Alongside the new game, Ubisoft is also working on a remake of the classic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. While the initial fan reaction to the game's graphics was negative, Ubisoft has taken the feedback to heart and is working to improve it. In the meantime, fans can look forward to a brand new Prince of Persia experience.
The upcoming release of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been highly anticipated since its announcement at Summer Game Fest 2023. The game appears to be a return to the series' classic 2D platformer roots, with a strong emphasis on action, puzzle solving, and epic boss fights. While some fans of the franchise may have been hoping for a continuation of the 3D action games of the PS2 era, the trailer for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has garnered much attention and excitement. The game is set to be released on January 18, 2024 and will be available on multiple platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
