Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a side-scrolling hack-and-slasher
Update: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been officially revealed at the Summer Game Fest.
The new Ubisoft game kicked off the whole showcase, and it'll be out early next year on January 28. The Lost Crown will be coming to PC and both last and new-gen console platforms, as well as the Nintendo Switch.

At the time of writing, the music track has been delisted from the developer/publisher's YouTube channel, but this could mean we're in for an announcement within the next few days, potentially at the ongoing Summer Game Fest.
