Serving as a soft reboot, The Lost Crown moves away from the 3D action-adventure style of earlier entries like The Two Thrones and The Forgotten Sands, embracing the precision and exploration of classics like Hollow Knight and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Its success, with 1.3 million units sold in its first year, has sparked a revival for the franchise, with multiple new projects announced.

The official Prince of Persia Twitter account celebrated the 2 million player milestone, teasing future projects that may feature Sargon or other Princes. This promise aligns with recent developments, including The Rogue Prince of Persia, a roguelike spin-off by Evil Empire that entered Early Access in 2024 and will receive updates throughout 2025.

This financial disappointment reflects broader challenges for Ubisoft, which has struggled with recent titles. However, the game’s growing popularity, bolstered by mobile ports and positive word-of-mouth, continues to draw new players.
