Ubisoft revives Prince of Persia after a 13-year break with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
"EGX 2023 lacked AAA pulling power and didn't quite match last year's indie chops. Pizza and an opticians produced the biggest queues - and that says a lot."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
With Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Ubisoft reinvents its classic videogame franchise yet again in a a brilliantly put together platformer that has a huge emphasis on speed and precision movement and does not shy away from set pieces and fantastic combat.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Even though this demo was short, and I still have no idea of what to expect in terms of unlockables or new abilities, I had a blast with what little I could play of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. What started off as a clunky, slow-paced 2D platformer in the late 80s has now finally made a comeback to its side-scrolling roots, but as a stylish, fast-paced metroidvania with slick combat, great visuals, and neat accessibility options. Can January 18th come soon? I don’t even mind if they decide to cancel the remake of The Sands of Time. I never thought a fast-paced Prince of Persia metroidvania was something I’d so desperately want in my life."
Its been 13 years since the last Prince of Persia! Time flew.
It does look good. I just find it difficult to see Ubisoft and not think of an overstuffed and generic game.
