Prince of Persia: Lost Crown Hits iOS, Android Next Month

In recent years, mobile gaming has been bridging the gap between what's available on larger platforms and the palm-sized powerhouses we carry around. A perfect example of this trend is the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This 2.5D platformer arrives amidst a turbulent period for Ubisoft, yet it distinguishes itself with its engaging Metroidvania-style action.

Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. You'll step into the shoes of the fearless hero, Sargon, on a mission to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mythical Mount Qaf. This game emphasizes the series' signature parkour-style platforming, enhanced with ample hack 'n slash combat. You'll weave together combos and harness time-altering powers to overcome formidable foes.

A standout feature for Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is its try-before-you-buy model. This approach allows players to dive into the game and experience it firsthand before deciding to purchase the full version, making it an attractive proposition for those curious about whether this title will capture their interest.

When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially for audiences accustomed to the latest and most advanced gaming experiences.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 keen audience seeking rich gameplay on the go.
