Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown heads up Summer Game Fest announcements

The season of E3 2023 kicked off with a bang at Summer Game Fest, as Ubisoft announced Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

The game is launching on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, last-gen console and Amazon Luna on January 18, 2024.

This latest Prince of Persia title might not be what fans were expecting, when we're still waiting on the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, but what Ubisoft showed with this original title looks promising.

A 2D side scroller much like the series' roots, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown also features multi-weapon combat, and fantastical bosses. It doesn't look too far removed from something like Metroid Dread or Hollow Knight, but it remains to be seen if Ubisoft's game has any metroidvania DNA.
