The old-new Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown stirred up a wave of discussions on the Internet and beyond after the first announcements. Opinions are highly polarized, and Ubisoft is trying more tricks to win over critics.
Last week, Ubisoft showed the world Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown . The game seems to have a lot in common with the first parts of Prince of Persia at the turn of the 80s and 90s. This is indicated by the return of the “platformer” perspective. Despite this, Ubisoft decided to celebrate the memory of the famous trilogy ( Sands of Time, Warrior’s Soul, Two Thrones ) with a special pre-order bonus for The Lost Crown . Players who pre-order will receive an in-game outfit inspired by the one in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within . A nice gesture for fans of the early 2000s hits, who will be able to bring some nostalgia to playing the new Prince of Persia.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a 2D platformer based on the “Metroidvania” genre (a hybrid of Metroid and Castlevania game features ). It’s mainly about the ability to return to previously visited locations to discover previously inaccessible areas. In The Lost Crown , the main character, Sargon, will gradually gain new skills that will allow him, among other things, to get to hard-to-reach places.
So far, the reception of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown in the gaming media has been very positive. This is said to be the reboot the series has long needed . On the other hand, the opinions of the players themselves, who know the new game only from the announcements, are divided. The new Prince of Persia is clearly not what some expected, as they expected something more like Warrior Within . Fortunately, Ubisoft still has some time before the premiere (January 18, 2024), so maybe they will still be able to convince skeptics. A pre-order bonus related to this theme is certainly a good start.
