Prince of Persia: Lost Crown Hits iOS, Android Next Month

In recent years, mobile gaming has seen an influx of titles that were once exclusive to larger platforms. One such eagerly anticipated release is the 2.5D platformer, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, which is set to hit iOS and Android devices on April 14th. This game arrives at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft, but its unique Metroidvania-style action sets it apart from the crowd.

Set in a richly detailed, mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown continues the legacy of the iconic series. As the fearless hero Sargon, players embark on a thrilling quest to rescue Prince Ghassan, navigating the mysterious Mount Qaf. The game blends the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash combat, allowing players to string together combos and harness time-altering powers to conquer formidable foes.

One of the standout features of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is its try-before-you-buy model. This allows gamers to dive into the experience and gauge their interest before committing to the full purchase, making it an excellent option for those unsure about diving into a new title.

While some have criticized the 2.5D platforming as outdated upon its initial release, it's poised to resonate well with mobile audiences seeking a robust and engaging experience on their devices. The nostalgic charm and depth of gameplay could very well captivate a new generation of players on the go.
