Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Getting Big New Update

Ubisoft has unveiled a substantial update for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, bringing new features, quality-of-life improvements, accessibility options, and more. This update promises to enrich the players’ experience and offer fresh challenges in the mythological world of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an action-adventure game developed and published by Ubisoft. This game revives the iconic Prince of Persia franchise with a fresh storyline, centered around Sargon, a young warrior and member of an elite group called the Immortals. Players will explore the mythological Persian world filled with dangerous foes, intricate puzzles, and time-bending mechanics, characteristic of the series. The game combines classic platforming elements with modern gameplay innovations, delivering a visually stunning and immersive experience while paying homage to the franchise’s rich legacy.

One of the standout additions in the update is the introduction of two new game modes: Boss Revenge and Boss Rush. In Boss Revenge, players can now take on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown‘s previously encountered bosses using their current Simurgh powers, offering a fresh and challenging way to test their skills. Each boss battle can be played at various difficulty levels, allowing players to tailor the challenge to their preference. Meanwhile, Boss Rush presents the ultimate endgame challenge, where players must defeat all main bosses in succession, testing their abilities and resource management skills.

To enhance accessibility and gameplay, the update introduces improvements to the High Contrast mode, ensuring better attack readability by distinguishing between yellow and red enemy attacks. Additionally, the new Wak-Wak tree fast travel feature allows players to instantly traverse between Wak-Wak trees without the need for fast travel altars, providing greater convenience and efficiency in exploring The Lost Crown‘s world. Furthermore, the update addresses several quality-of-life issues, including stability improvements to prevent game crashes on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, along with various gameplay tweaks and quest fixes to enhance the overall experience.

A notable highlight of the update is the addition of new outfits for The Lost Crown‘s protagonist Sargon, offering players more customization options and rewards for completing the challenging Boss Rush mode. These outfits pay homage to the iconic designs of previous Prince of Persia titles, adding a nostalgic touch to the game’s visual aesthetic.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown continues to evolve, offering players new ways to immerse themselves in the game. With the release of this new patch, players can look forward to an enhanced gaming experience.
