Prince of Persia Team Disbands After Game Falls Flat, Report

The development team behind *Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown* has reportedly been disbanded, despite the game receiving positive feedback from both players and developers. According to recent reports, the team enjoyed their time working on the project, which was seen as a refreshing change from past projects, especially given the troubled development of *Beyond Good & Evil 2*. Unfortunately, *The Lost Crown* did not meet Ubisoft's sales expectations, leading management to decide against a sequel or further expansions. Developers who hoped for additional content were left disappointed, as executives were concerned that a sequel would undermine the original game's long-term sales. The game, praised for its strong gameplay and a return to form, received an 8/10 in reviews.

Currently, there are no confirmed plans for a sequel to *Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown*. Ubisoft has indicated that, due to the game's underwhelming sales performance, the focus will shift to other projects, limiting the possibility of expanding the series further.

*Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown* marks a significant return for the beloved franchise, which began in 1989 and became particularly famous with the release of *Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time* in 2003. The series is known for its innovative platforming and storytelling, often incorporating mystical elements and intricate puzzles. The recent title aimed to recapture the magic while introducing a fresh 2D perspective that appeals to both new and returning players.
