Ubisoft Original Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has crept up, releasing 18th January on PS5 and PS4, bringing the series to an entirely new generation after a 14-year hiatus. At The Game Awards, we were treated to a story snippet and a playable demo, and now we've got an expansive overview trailer to gush over.
Returning to the series' platforming routes, the Prince retains the Time Powers we all know and love and must use them to navigate Mount Quaf and its many obstacles. The more fantastic elements were inspired by Persian mythology, and players can look forward to losing themselves in a vast, interconnected world of multiple biomes full of wonder and danger.
