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

In recent years, mobile gaming has increasingly mirrored the experiences found on larger platforms, bringing high-quality games directly to our smartphones. A prime example is the eagerly anticipated Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This release comes at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft, yet it promises to captivate players with its Metroidvania-style action.

Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown marks the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. Players will step into the shoes of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mythical Mount Qaf. The game blends the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash combat, allowing players to string together combos and utilize time-altering powers to overcome formidable foes.

One of the standout features of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is its try-before-you-buy model. This allows players to dive into the game and experience it firsthand before deciding to purchase the full version, making it an attractive option for those unsure about committing to the game.

When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially for audiences accustomed to the latest and most advanced gaming experiences. However, on mobile devices, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to resonate well with a broad audience eager for quality gaming on the go.
