Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is available on Valve’s service complete with the previously released updates Warrior’s Path (for fans of speedrunning), Boss Attack (Boss Marathon mode) and Divine Trials (a set of new challenges). The project also received full Steam Deck support.
Metroidvania tells the story of swordmaster Sargon, one of the bodyguards of the kidnapped Prince Hassan. Players are invited to visit a world affected by a curse, breathing Persian legends and full of fantastic sights.
Currently, the rating for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown stands at 85% (20 reviews). The first buyers in their reviews ironically say that the real release of the project on PC took place only now. “So glad this game is finally out,” Stampede noted.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was released on January 18 on PC (Ubisoft Connect, EGS), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, S and Nintendo Switch. The project was warmly received by the press, but sales were not so good.
