1 Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Released: January 18
Available on: PlayStation 5/4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC
It’s been two decades since the release of the critically acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the newest additions to the franchise.
According to trailers and previews, the game blends its well-known 2.5D platformer mechanics with a Metroidvania design (meaning an interconnected world you’ll repeatedly traverse as you gain new abilities/items), which seems like something the franchise should have done before.
While the visuals don’t look award-winning, the combat is meaty and engaging, which is paramount for a game that reportedly takes about 24 hours to complete.
