Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Gets Five Minute Gameplay Overview

While this month doesn’t have as many big games as last year, there are still titles like Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown to look forward to. As a 2D Metroidvania title akin to the classic games, it stars Sargon, a warrior and member of the Immortals, on a journey to rescue Prince Ghassan.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is looking more and more like the revival the beloved franchise has been in desperate need of for so long every time we see more of it, and apparently, it’s also going to be quite a meaty experience.

Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the bigger releases this month and the first follow-up in the series since 2010’s Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Publications like Game Informer went hands-on with the title before launch, revealing nearly 20 minutes of action-packed gameplay. Check it out below.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is finally out in theaters after several delays in getting to the big screen. Not only that, but it marks the final film in the DCEU as James Gunn and Peter Safran take over the reins from here on out. With so much riding on the possible final outing of Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry, you might be wondering just how it all signs off with the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom post-credits scenes.

It was around the third time Jason Momoa was wiping piss off his face that I felt truly unmoored from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Ubisoft Montpelier’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a 2.5 side-scroller in the long-running series, has finally gone gold. The game’s official Twitter announced the same, with the developer stating it can’t wait for players to “explore mythological Persia as Sargon.”

New details recently arrived on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and its first 3-4 hours following a recent round of previews from various outlets (including our own), and to further drive up the hype surrounding the game’s imminent release, Ubisoft has published its own extensive preview as well, showcasing plenty of gameplay footage and revealing new details.

Ubisoft Original Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has crept up, releasing 18th January on PS5 and PS4, bringing the series to an entirely new generation after a 14-year hiatus. At The Game Awards, we were treated to a story snippet and a playable demo, and now we've got an expansive overview trailer to gush over.

Recently we went hands-on with Ubisoft's upcoming Metroidvania, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It's slashing its way onto PS5 and PS4 in January, bringing the series back to PlayStation for the first time since 2010. But after all this time, how is this latest adventure shaping up? And will it be worth that 14-year wait? Well, from our two hours with the game, we'd say fans of the series have a fun and vibrant adventure on their hands, and we personally are looking forward to jumping back into it.

Brutal. When you're a gamer who regularly tries to sink or swim in the deep end of difficulties, like I do, that word is one of the most complimentary you can use. And I've got to say it: after a 3-hour blind run into the Immortal difficulty of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, it has all the makings of being deliciously, refreshingly brutal.

The Prince of Persia has had it rough in the past few years. Following the release of the 2008 game, which rebooted the franchise for the second time and its direct sequel, the series has been pretty much dormant, with Ubisoft releasing only some minor titles. The indefinite delay of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake seemed to be the final nail in the coffin for one of the longest-running series still active today.

I recently had the opportunity to dive into a roughly three-and-a-half-hour hands-on preview of the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and I had no idea what to expect.
