In a four-star review, NME wrote: “Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown is a remarkable revival of a neglected series. Issues with tone and repetitive combat are outshined by a creative approach to platforming, while smart tweaks to the Metroidvania formula will make it easier for newcomers to jump into.”

Following the launch of The Lost Crown, which was featured as part of Ubisoft’s new premium subscription service, director of subscriptions Philippe Tremblay spoke about how gamers have got comfortable not owning their games.

“As people embrace that model [more], they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue, and you’ll be able to access them when you feel like. That’s reassuring,” he explained.
