Ubisoft Announces Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Today, during the Summer Game Fest live showcase, Ubisoft announced Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, an action-adventure platformer game set in a mythological Persian world. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will release on 18th January, 2024 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Amazon Luna as well as Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store. Players can also subscribe to Ubisoft+ on PC, Xbox and Amazon Luna.

In this brand-new adventure, 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.
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 this epic journey, Sargon will fight his way through mythical enemies, larger-than-life bosses, and vicious traps. By combining combat and platforming skills, players will defeat time-corrupted creatures such as Jahandar, the dreadful Manticore, guardian of the Citadel. Players will be able to express their creativity in a deep and engaging combat system to trigger devastating combos.

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 a team of seasoned veterans from Ubisoft Montpellier, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a fresh take on the legendary franchise, bringing new characters & lore, engaging narrative, and exciting gameplay mechanics into the mix.

Why do they need to make this horrible over fantasised videogames with supernatural fantastic heroes which are unbelievable and also very cheesy and retarded.
The first 2 Price of Persia games from 1990 and 1993 were PERFECT for that time. Why not make or re-make them with current tech??

I only enjoyed the cell-shaded 2008 Prince of Persia :) ,I had a blast, and the dialog was funny and there were some parkour collecting some stuff. If they make a sequel to that in the same format colour me interested otherwise hard pass for me.

EDIT: OK spoke too soon, just saw the trailer. Looks like a fun platformer.

A 2D prince of persia sounds fine, but it's modern day ubisoft and it has all the telltale sign of "progressive storytelling", so I expect something mediocre at best.

I didn't like it. I hope they release that the other game they announced remastered.

This... is not what I expected from a new PoP game.
I naively hope that the already rebooted remaster will actually see the light of day.

Looks like every diversity box is checked. Ubi's ESG score should be secured. Added to ignore list. Check check check. :laugh:
