As a gamer who has journeyed through the enchanting realms of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, I cannot help but feel a pang of nostalgia upon hearing the news about its development team being disbanded and the sequel’s rejection by Ubisoft. Yet, as someone who has witnessed the ebb and flow of gaming industry trends, I am not entirely surprised.
According to a recent report, it was stated that the team responsible for developing “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” had been dismantled by Ubisoft, and furthermore, a proposal for a sequel to the popular Metroidvania-style action-adventure game was turned down by the company. However, it has now been verified that the initial part of this report is indeed accurate, as confirmed by Ubisoft.
Through a tweet posted on the official Prince of Persia account, Abdelhak Elguess, who was senior producer for The Lost Crown, revealed that since post-launch support for the game has ended, Ubisoft is now concentrating on expanding the game to additional platforms. This includes the recent Steam release and an upcoming Mac version. Meanwhile, the development team has moved onto other projects that can utilize their skills effectively. Elguess also hinted at more Prince of Persia experiences being created in the future by Ubisoft.
Elguess’s message conveys immense pride in our team at Ubisoft Montpellier for creating a game, ‘Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown,’ that has struck a chord with both players and critics. He expresses faith in the game’s long-term success. As we reach the end of its post-launch roadmap, with three free content updates, one DLC released in September, we are now concentrating on expanding its reach: it has just been launched on Steam, and will be accessible on Mac by this winter.
The majority of the team involved in ‘Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown’ have moved on to other tasks where their skills will be useful. Players, who hold a deep affection for this franchise, can look forward to more captivating ‘Prince of Persia’ adventures from Ubisoft in the future.
Despite earning extensive praise when it was launched in January, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has struggled to achieve comparable commercial success, allegedly selling only about a million copies so far.
According to recent updates, the development team behind “The Lost Crown” has moved onto three different projects at Ubisoft: the upcoming “Beyond Good and Evil 2”, a new “Ghost Recon”, and a potential “Rayman” remake. Although Ubisoft hasn’t made an official announcement, they have confirmed that they are currently in an exploratory phase regarding the “Rayman” brand. You can read more about this development here.
Although it seems improbable that a sequel to “The Lost Crown” is on the horizon now, fans of “Prince of Persia” have other exciting prospects to anticipate. For instance, a roguelike action game titled “The Rogue Prince of Persia” is available in early access on Steam. Moreover, a remake of “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” is slated for release in the year 2026.
First off, I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming affection you’ve all showered on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It’s truly wonderful to see that so many of you have enjoyed the game as much as we did creating it! ❤️
