In recent years, it seems as if we're getting a taste of what the bigger platforms enjoy, and the upcoming Prince of Persia: Lost Crown perfectly exemplifies this trend. This 2.5D platformer is set to release on iOS and Android on April 14th, arriving at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft but standing out with its engaging Metroidvania-style action.
Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. You'll step into the shoes of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mythical Mount Qaf.
Much like previous efforts to revive this classic franchise, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown emphasizes parkour-style platforming, enriched with intense hack 'n slash combat. You'll weave together combos and harness time-altering powers to conquer formidable foes.
Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will also launch with a try-before-you-buy model, allowing you to dive in and experience the game before deciding to unlock the full version if it captures your interest.
When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown initially launched, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially for those accustomed to the latest and greatest releases. However, on mobile, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to captivate a new audience eager for quality gaming on the go.
