Jump into Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Platforming and combat combine in this 2D delight.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown offers a fantastic blend of fast-paced combat and intricate platforming, all in the series’ signature mythological Persian setting.

This action-packed adventure from Ubisoft Montpellier follows Sargon, a skilled warrior of The Immortals clan, as he journeys to rescue Prince Ghassan in the cursed city of Mount Qaf.

Find and equip Menolias’ Bow to shoot long-range targets.

As Sargon, you’ll utilise an impressive arsenal of acrobatic attacks, supernatural abilities and time-based powers to take down foes, who range from sneaky assassins to massive mythological beasts.

Combat is fast, fluid and highly rewarding, as you chain together sword strikes, air dashes and ranged attacks into devastating combos. Unique abilities, such as creating a frozen-in-time shadow to teleport behind enemies, add a tactical edge to every fight.

Mastering jumps and dashes is essential to traversing Mount Qaf.

Mount Qaf is a sprawling, labyrinthine world filled with deadly traps, intricate puzzles and plenty of hidden secrets. To navigate this dangerous environment, you’ll need to master Sargon’s athletic movement style. Double jumps, air dashes and a handy grappling hook will prove essential as you scale treacherous cliffs and ancient ruins.

As you progress, you’ll gain skills and abilities that can unlock new paths, shortcuts and treasures, so it’s always worthwhile revisiting earlier areas for a chance to find extra upgrades and hidden lore.

Collecting Time Powers unlocks new combat options and areas of the map to explore.

The Lost Crown isn’t just about speedy combat, exploration and mind-bending puzzles – it also delivers a gripping story rooted in Persian mythology.

As you delve deeper into Mount Qaf, you’ll uncover a conspiracy that threatens the kingdom, along with intriguing characters and side-quests that reveal the history of the cursed land.
