Ubisoft is finally out and about with a new Prince of Persia game after 14 whopping years more or less, when it really put the “forgotten” in The Forgotten Sands back in 2010. Continuing the lineage of this iconic franchise, the developers have spun the direction of the series and converted Prince of Persia into a side-scrolling Metroidvania with The Lost Crown.

From the looks of it, the side-scroller is going to pack action-packed gameplay and engaging exploration, not to mention the onslaught of tantalizing boss fights that are going to push players to their edge.
