Ubisoft has announced that a new free update is now available for its action metroidvania Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, adding Boss Attack.
Speaking to Artaban in the Haven will grant access to new challenges, letting players re-battle previously defeated bosses at any difficulty. Boss Rush is also available, comprised of every game’s boss in succession with the capability of altering your loadouts in between each bout.
Completing the Boss Rush mode will provide two new outfits for Sargon. Further, the update also implements enhanced fast travel around Mount Qaf.
Summer 2024 will see the release of the Divine Trials, new amulets, and new outfits. Lastly, more story DLC will arrive later this year.
In case you missed it, check out our review.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown seems heavily similar to the older Prince of Persia titles, featuring the new protagonist, Sargon, with 2.5D action, combat, puzzle solving, and platforming. Considering the state the Sands of Time Remake is in now, it’s definitely surprising to see a new original game suddenly released.
Sargon is part of a group of warriors called The Immortals, assigned the task of rescuing Prince Ghassan. They explore Mount Qaf, which has recently become hostile, and they discover that time itself is a force to be reckoned with. The title will boast a soundtrack composed by the Iranian-born composer Mentrix alongside Gareth Coker. Sargon will also learn new abilities and equip amulets to boost said abilities and grant other perks. The number of amulets one can equip is limited, though.
