Players take on the role of Sargon in Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown, a young warrior who’s part of a group of elite fighters called The Immortals. He’s on a sworn mission to find and retrieve this game’s Prince after he gets kidnapped and taken to a mysterious citadel on the top of a cursed mountain. In classic Metroidvania fashion, Sargon will need to explore every nook and cranny of Mount Qaf as he seeks out the Prince, and he’ll encounter all manner of beasts and monsters along the way, too, using his twin swords and, eventually, bow, chakram and the power of manipulate time itself to reach his goal.

I should note that The Lost Crown isset before Ubisoft’s infamous Sands Of Time trilogy, but it does riff on a number of familiar time-based powers. Sargon’s Air Dash, for example, mimics the way the Sands Of Time prince wall runs, for example, and he eventually gains the ability to freeze a version of himself in time, which he can then rewind to at the touch of a button - a power that will no doubt form the basis of some challenging platforming sections further down the line.
Assuming that the leaked trailer is indeed correct, that demo on January 11th can’t come soon enough as far as I’m concerned, nor can its full release on January 18th. I’ll update this post with the full and official trailer as soon as it gets a proper reveal later this evening.
