Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown story trailer and demo news accidentally posted early

The successful soft landing of India's ambitious Chandrayaan-3 mission on the lunar south pole was admired by a large part of the world, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday.

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.

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.

Prince of Persia games were once a big enough deal that they made them into a movie, controversially starring Jake Gyllenhaal. In fact, prior to the arrival of Assassin’s Creed in 2007, Prince of Persia was probably Ubisoft’s premier franchise, due in large part to the reputation of 2003 classic The Sands of Time. But the series has fallen on hard times. There hasn’t been a significant Prince of Persia release in the 13 long years since 2010’s The Forgotten Sands, while a planned remake of The Sands of Time has gone back to the drawing board.

Black Clover M: Rise Of The Wizard King has gained quite some traction since it dropped, evident with its 5 Million Downloads in just 10 days. Launched officially on Android and iOS on November 30, gamers worldwide have been hooked on its fishy gameplay.

Ubisoft will be releasing a demo for Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown ahead of its release in January, a leaked Game Awards trailer has revealed. Posted earlier this evening by PlayStation Brazil's YouTube channel, the trailer has since been taken down, but not quite fast enough to prevent some folks from downloading it and plastering it all over the internet (good spot, VGC). Apparently the demo is coming January 11th - one week before the game's full release on January 18th.
