We’ve gone hands on with the latest Prince of Persia game at Ubisoft Forward – and the switch in perspective seems like a smart move so far.
Easily one of the biggest surprise announcements at last week’s Summer Games Fest was the news that a new Prince of Persia game would launch in January 2024. Equally surprising was the fact that it wasn’t the one we were expecting.
Because while the ground-up Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake currently suffers from a protracted development, the team at Ubisoft Montpelier – most known for Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends – have once again been tapped for their 2D platforming prowess. And from the 30 minutes I got to play, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is so far a smart reworking of the franchise – just on a slightly smaller scale.
