The first game revealed at this year’s Summer Game Fest was a surprise title from Ubisoft. The game is a new entry in the Prince of Persia series, called The Lost Crown. From what was shown in the trailer, it’s a 2D platforming title in the style of the original Prince of Persia series, and it’s due to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on January 18, 2024.
The Lost Crown takes place in a mythical ancient Persia, where the player character is Sargon, a bodyguard called an Immortal. The Prince has been kidnapped, and Sargon must retrieve them, encountering monsters and bosses along the way. The Immortal is apparently assisted by their time-based powers.
Ubisoft plans to reveal more of the game during its Forward event on June 12.
