Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Award-Winning Metroidvania, Now on Mobile!

Ubisoft's latest addition to the iconic Prince of Persia series, "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown," has now made its way to Android devices after its initial release on PC in January 2024. This metroidvania action game puts you in the shoes of Sargon, a youthful and skilled warrior from the group known as the Immortals.

Here’s the Story

Your journey begins with a mission from Queen Thomyris to rescue her son, Prince Ghassan. This quest leads you to Mount Qaf, a once-divine city now ravaged by time-warped creatures and cursed landscapes. Despite being a single mountain, Mount Qaf in "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown" is a vast, diverse area featuring a ruined temple, a forgotten desert, and other unique zones. The map is not only expansive but also cleverly interconnected, allowing you to capture photos of your surroundings to aid in navigation.

One of the game's standout features is the ability to drop a shadow and teleport back to it at your convenience, enhancing the fluidity of platforming and combat. Scattered throughout the map are amulets that allow you to customize Sargon’s abilities, adding depth to your gameplay experience. Sargon also boasts powerful ultimate moves called Athra Surges, perfect for finishing off enemies. Additionally, side quests enrich the lore of Mount Qaf and offer a variety of collectibles and challenges to keep you engaged.
