In recent years, mobile gaming has been bridging the gap with bigger platforms, bringing high-quality titles directly to our smartphones. One such exciting addition to the mobile gaming scene is the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This 2.5D platformer arrives at a turbulent time for Ubisoft but promises to captivate players with its Metroidvania-style action.

Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot in the iconic series. Players will step into the shoes of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a thrilling quest to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mythical Mount Qaf. The game enhances the classic parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash action, allowing players to string together combos and utilize time-altering powers to confront formidable foes.

Adding to its appeal, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will launch with a try-before-you-buy model. This feature allows players to experience the game before deciding to purchase, ensuring they can dive into the action and see if it suits their taste.

Crowned with a unique 2.5D platforming style, some critics felt it was outdated upon its initial release. However, on mobile devices, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to resonate strongly with a new audience eager for immersive gaming on the go.
