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

The mobile gaming landscape is increasingly embracing titles that were once the preserve of bigger platforms, and the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown on April 14th for iOS and Android is a prime example. This 2.5D platformer arrives at a turbulent time for Ubisoft, yet it distinguishes itself with engaging Metroidvania-style action that promises to captivate players.

Set against a backdrop of a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown represents the latest reboot of the beloved platformer series. You step into the shoes of the courageous hero Sargon, embarking on a perilous quest to rescue Prince Ghassan amidst the mystical landscapes of Mount Qaf.

Echoing the series' tradition, the game blends parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash combat. Players will execute dazzling combos and harness time-altering abilities to overcome formidable foes, adding depth and excitement to the gameplay.

To sweeten the deal, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown introduces a try-before-you-buy model, allowing players to dive into the experience and decide if they want to unlock the full game. This approach is perfect for those who are curious but cautious about committing to a new title.

Initially, some criticized the game's 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially in a market dominated by the latest and most visually stunning releases. However, on mobile devices, this rich, fully fleshed-out experience is poised to attract a keen audience eager for quality gaming on the go.
