What is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the latest entry in a series that dates all the way back to 1989. This installment was made by Ubisoft Montpellier, which also made the delightful side-scrollers Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. The Lost Crown is a Metroidvania-style game, so you’ll discover items and abilities that let you unlock new pathways through the environments of Mount Qaf.
It has you slicing through enemies, manipulating time, platforming to avoid pits and spikes, solving puzzles, completing quests, and seeking out treasure. Ubisoft also says the game will run at 60 frames per second on all platforms, which is pretty neat. Check out our Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown hands-on preview for more information.
