Prince of Persia: Lost Crown hits iOS, Android next month

In recent years, mobile gaming has been catching up with the experiences typically reserved for bigger platforms. A prime example is the highly anticipated release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer, set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This game arrives at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft but promises to shine with its Metroidvania-style action.

Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. Players will take on the role of the fearless hero, Sargon, on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan while navigating the mythical Mount Qaf. The game combines the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash action, allowing players to string together combos and utilize time-altering powers to battle deadly foes.

Adding to its appeal, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will debut with a try-before-you-buy model on both iOS and Android. This feature allows players to dive into the game and experience it firsthand before deciding to purchase the full version, making it an attractive option for those unsure about committing to the game.

When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially for audiences accustomed to the latest and most advanced gaming experiences. However, on mobile devices, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to resonate well with eager players looking for a rich gaming experience on the go.
