Ubisoft Releases Launch Trailer For Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown

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. Have a look at its newly launched release trailer ahead. 

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. The art direction that Ubisoft went with this time around is seemingly distinct from what the rest of the iterations in the Prince of Persia series encompassed—that much is clear.

As for when you can get your hands on the title, purchase its Deluxe Edition and you can start playing right now. That’s because of the early access period associated with pre-ordering this particular variant of The Lost Crown, the details of which you can find on the official Ubisoft storefront.
