Also starring a “semi-open world”
During the Ubisoft Forward event, we got to see a pair of new trailers for the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. The first of these was an animated trailer, which offers a pretty good time if you’re a fan of the new design for the titular prince.
Of course, cinematic and animated trailers in the video game world are a dime a dozen. Fortunately, the second trailer demonstrates the proper gameplay of this title, which gives us a bit more to chew on. Director Mournir Radi said The Lost Crown has a “semi-open world,” which I still can’t get over.
The most intriguing part of this trailer is the showcase of time-based powers reminiscent of the original Sands of Time. While this ♐gimmick might be in vogue at the moment, Prince of Persia at least has precedent for it. So far, it looks like time-based mechanics will factor heavily into both the combat of The Lost Crown and exploration of its not quite linear world. It’s not a full open world, that I can assure you.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and its semi-open, definitely not closed world will launch on January 17, 2024. Yo🍎u can grab it on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
