Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a 2D action-platformer developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, released in January 2024. It incorporates modern metroidvania design principles. Players control Sargon, a member of the Immortals, who ventures into Mount Qaf to rescue the kidnapped Prince. The game follows the metroidvania formula with an interconnected world map that opens as Sargon acquires new abilities. Time manipulation plays a central role, with abilities like a shadow clone, time-paused platforms, and temporal paradoxes woven into combat and exploration. Combat blends light and heavy attacks with aerial combos, parries, and Athra Surges. Boss fights are varied and demanding. The Memory Shard system lets players screenshot inaccessible areas and pin them to the map.

Parrying is the single most important combat skill. Most boss attacks have a visible yellow flash indicating a parryable strike. Practice the timing on regular enemies before tackling bosses. Explore thoroughly before moving to new areas. Use the Memory Shard system to mark locations you cannot access yet. Athra Surges can be swapped freely at Wak-Wak trees.

Trainer Tips

The RG trainer includes infinite health, unlimited Athra energy, and one-hit kills. Many players prefer using just infinite health while learning boss patterns. The trainer does not affect platforming sequences, so environmental deaths still occur normally.

Q: How long is the game? A: A standard playthrough takes 15-20 hours. Full completion adds another 5-10 hours. Q: Is it connected to previous Prince of Persia games? A: New story and characters, drawing on Persian mythology.
