Everyone’s favourite time-travelling royalty is back, and if you’re wondering: when is the Prince of Persia The Lost Crown release date? You’re in the right place.
We last had an entry in Ubisoft’s popular Prince of Persia franchise all the way back in 2010 with Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands. That means it’s high time for a return to the platforming series, and though a remake of Sands of Time has been promised for quite some time, it’s currently in development limbo.
Thankfully, in the meantime, Ubisoft Montpellier has been working on an all-new game, which cleverly also harks back to the series’ original genre of a side-scrolling platformer, with some Metroidvania elements thrown in for good measure, too.
Following the lifting of its review embargo on January 11, 2024, we now know what people think of the new game, including our own verdict thanks to our very own Prince of Persia The Lost Crown review. So, with that said, if you’re excited to find out when the game launches, here’s what we know about its release date – including its launch platforms and more.
