Story DLC and Multiple Free Updates Revealed for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Ubisoft Montpellier has today confirmed the slate of free and paid updates it has planned for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, having first teased them last month. The main addition takes the form of a paid story DLC arriving in the second half of 2024, but releasing between now and then are three updates adding new modes and challenges, all for free.

The first arrives next week on 20th March 2024, which has been titled the Warrior’s Path. It’ll add a new speedrun mode, a permadeath mode, and new outfits to customise Sargon with. In the Spring, a boss rush mode will be patched in along with even more Sargon skins. A Summer update will see some new combat, puzzle, and platforming challenges added alongside new amulets and another batch of Sargon costumes. The story expansion then rounds out the year, though no details have been shared yet.

If the positive word surrounding the 2D Metroidvania title has you interested, then the PS5, PS4 game is currently on sale on the PS Store for £26.99 / $29.99. The offer is available until 28th March 2024. Our Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown PS5 review handed the game an 8/10 rating and concluded: “Combining the series’ 2D past with the time-bending powers from later games, this Metroidvania is a brilliant blend that brings the franchise back in a fresh new way. While it can sometimes look a little underwhelming, and the sheer size of the game threatens to slow its own momentum, the fluid, challenging platforming and combat are so fun that any shortcomings fade into the background.”
