Ubisoft Teases More Prince of Persia as Lost Crown Hits 2M Players

Ubisoft has announced that over two million players have engaged with "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown," which was released in January 2024. This marks a significant revival for the franchise, which hadn't seen a new release since 2010. Despite impressive player numbers, there are concerns about the future of the series, as the development team has reportedly been disbanded after the game's release due to its commercial performance. Ubisoft still expresses excitement about future "Prince of Persia" experiences, following the game's transition to platforms like Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus, along with a recent mobile launch. As players await more updates and potential sequels, the Sands of Time remake is still on track for a 2026 release, raising questions about the franchise's direction and upcoming content.

While specific details are scarce, Ubisoft has hinted at ongoing support for "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown" and future project announcements. There's anticipation surrounding the delayed Sands of Time remake set for 2026, as well as possibilities for new gameplay experiences given the recent player engagement.

The "Prince of Persia" series is renowned for its blend of platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat, originating in the late 1980s. The franchise has evolved significantly over the years, most notably transitioning into the 3D realm with titles like "The Sands of Time," which set a benchmark for action-adventure games. "The Lost Crown" embraces this legacy while introducing a fresh take with its Metroidvania-style gameplay, revitalizing interest in the series after years of dormancy.
