"Prince of Persia: Lost Crown Coming to Mobile Next Month"

In recent years, it seems like we're increasingly getting a taste of what the so-called bigger platforms are enjoying. Yet, there are new releases that you'd feel would perfectly fit on the ubiquitous palm-sized smartphone, such as the upcoming Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, which is finally releasing for iOS and Android on April 14th!

Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the classic platformer series. You play as the fearless hero Sargon on his quest to rescue Prince Ghassan as he traverses the mythical Mount Qaf.

Like many attempts to revive this iconic series, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown accentuates the parkour-style platforming with plentiful hack 'n slash action. You'll string together combos and use your time-altering powers to take on deadly enemies.

Crowned Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will also debut with a try-before-you-buy model. That means if you're skeptical about whether you'll enjoy the game, you can leap in and give it a go before paying to unlock the full experience if it takes your fancy.

One of the more common sentiments about Prince of Persia: Lost Crown when it was originally released was that the 2.5D platforming felt outdated. For audiences used to the biggest, flashiest, and most cutting-edge releases, it almost seemed quaint. However, on mobile, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to find a very eager audience.
