The mobile gaming scene is about to get a royal treat with the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown on April 14th for both iOS and Android devices. This 2.5D platformer arrives at a turbulent time for Ubisoft but manages to stand out with its captivating Metroidvania-style action.

Set against the backdrop of a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown breathes new life into the iconic franchise. As the fearless hero Sargon, players embark on a thrilling quest to rescue Prince Ghassan, navigating the treacherous terrains of the mythical Mount Qaf.

The game blends the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash combat, allowing players to string together combos and utilize time-altering powers to overcome formidable foes. This latest reboot promises to deliver a rich, immersive experience that fans of the classic series will appreciate.

Crowned with innovation, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown also introduces a try-before-you-buy model.

While some critics felt the 2.5D platforming was somewhat outdated upon its initial release, the mobile version of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is poised to captivate a new audience.
