"Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - A Shonen Anime-inspired Metroidvania with a Brewing Frenemy Battle"

Ubisoft's upcoming game, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, serves as a soft reboot for the franchise, paying homage to its side-scrolling roots. Despite not featuring the iconic Prince, the game offers crisp combat, engrossing level design, and a Metroidvania-style gameplay. Set in a richly imagined world of Persian mythology, the protagonist, Sargon, embarks on a quest to save the titular Prince, Ghassan. While the narrative and character choices may not resonate with all fans, the game showcases Ubisoft Montpellier's expertise in creating sharp and inventive 2D platform games, making it a promising return for the Prince of Persia series.
