Prince of Persia: Lost Crown to Launch on iOS, Android Next Month

In recent years, mobile gaming has been bridging the gap with larger platforms, bringing high-quality games like the eagerly awaited Prince of Persia: Lost Crown to smartphones. Set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th, this 2.5D platformer arrives amidst a tumultuous period for Ubisoft but promises to captivate players with its Metroidvania-style action.

Set in a richly detailed, mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. You take on the role of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a thrilling quest to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mystical Mount Qaf.

The game continues the series' tradition of exhilarating parkour-style platforming, enhanced with intense hack 'n slash combat. Players will master combos and harness time-altering powers to defeat formidable foes, making for a dynamic gameplay experience.

Crowned with innovation, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will also offer a try-before-you-buy model. This feature allows players to dive into the game for free, giving them a chance to experience the gameplay before deciding to purchase the full version if it meets their expectations.

While some have criticized the 2.5D platforming as outdated, I believe it will resonate well with mobile gamers seeking a fully fleshed-out experience on their devices. The charm and depth of this style could very well find a dedicated audience on mobile platforms.
