Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was the first game revealed at this year’s Summer Game Fest. It was a return to 2D platforming and side-scrolling in the tradition of the original Prince of Persia game series.

The title is coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on January 18, 2024. I was able to play it in a preview session with Ubisoft.
