UBISOFT REVEALS PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE LOST CROWN, RELEASING JANUARY 18, 2024

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 January 18, 2024, on Nintendo Switch™, Playstation®5, Playstation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, as well as Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store. Payers can also subscribe to Ubisoft+ on PC and Xbox.

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 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 colourful 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 in 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 ad 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.
