Whichever platform you choose, you may not have expected the good press that the title is getting now. At the time that Ubisoft announced Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown the studio had failed to deliver on their promise of a Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown also features the time control powers from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but it being used by the villain.

And your character, Sargon, isn’t actually a prince. He was designed to combine modern and ancient sensibility and was deliberately a break from the franchise’s conventions. But the fans didn’t seem to be interested in change at the time.

Never forget how the internet reacted to the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's announcement.

Funny how a "cheap-looking 2D game" is the most critically-acclaimed Ubisoft game in years, maybe even a decade. https://t.co/PPZYQZO6cS

As a result, it received a large number of dislikes on the YouTube previews uploaded by both PlayStation and Nintendo.

Of course, as we now know, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a brilliantly designed Metroidvania, optimized to a degree that smaller studios and publishers may not be able to budget. But of course, this is still a mid-sized game for Ubisoft in comparison to their sprawling AAA open world games.

It’s certainly a pleasant surprise from the beleaguered publisher, and might even be the first step in Ubisoft’s hoped for turnaround.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will be releasing on January 18, 2024, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Windows via Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect.
