Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is coming to iOS and Android next month

In recent years, mobile gaming has been bridging the gap between what's available on larger platforms and the convenience of playing on a smartphone. A prime example of this trend is the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This release comes at a pivotal time for Ubisoft, yet it distinguishes itself with its Metroidvania-style action that promises to captivate mobile gamers.

Set against a backdrop of a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot in the iconic platformer series. You step into the shoes of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mythical Mount Qaf. The game blends the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash combat, allowing players to string together combos and utilize time-altering powers to vanquish formidable foes.

Crowned with innovation, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown introduces a try-before-you-buy model, enabling players to experience the game before committing to a purchase. This feature is especially appealing for those curious about whether the game's blend of classic and modern elements will resonate with them.

When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown initially launched, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially in an era dominated by cutting-edge graphics and gameplay. However, on mobile devices, this fully fleshed-out experience is poised to attract a keen audience eager for a rich, immersive gaming experience on the go.
