Ubisoft Montpellier made an outstanding Metroidvania game in 2024's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and its publisher, big Ubisoft, rewarded it by dissolving the team. I know what you're thinking – the company is so thoughtful. It might, at least, be becoming more sentimental, as French journalist Gauthier "Gautoz" Andres reports Ubisoft Montpellier was just authorized to regroup.
Andres, the founder of indie French media site Origami, shares in a Bluesky post translated by GamesRadar+, "A little bird told me the core team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has received the green light from Ubisoft to reform and pitch video game ideas."
