Summary

  • Ubisoft is bringing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown to mobile platforms with customizable options for smoother gameplay.
  • The mobile port includes customizable touch controls, auto options, 60 FPS, and controller support.
  • The 2D Metroidvania game’s art style and gameplay make it well-suited for mobile screens.

Ubisoft is making “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” available on mobile devices, offering a variety of gameplay personalization features. Originally launched in January for Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch, this 2D action platformer garnered significant acclaim early in the year. On Metacritic, it received scores between 84 and 88, eventually winning the “Innovation in Accessibility” award at the 2024 Game Awards.

In recent times, major game publishers have significantly expanded their mobile presence, with Capcom taking the lead in adapting some of its top-tier PC and console games for iOS and Android devices. Games such as remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4, along with 2017’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and even the latest release, Resident Evil Village, have all been ported. Ubisoft has also entered this realm to a lesser degree, releasing its smaller-scale 2023 title, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, for mobile platforms last summer.

Currently, Ubisoft is transferring another one of their games to mobile devices. Although it’s not as expansive as “Assassin’s Creed Mirage”, the upcoming 2024 title, “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” (a 2D Metroidvania), will be available on both iOS and Android platforms. Ubisoft recently unveiled a trailer brimming with details about the mobile version, concluding with a release date set for April 14th.

2024’s Innovation in Accessibility award-winning mobile adaptation boasts a host of fresh features for enhanced gameplay on both smartphones and tablets. For instance, all touch controls in the game Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown can be tailored to your preference, even adjusting the transparency of icons themselves. You’ll also have options to activate automatic wall grabs and an extended dash. Impressively, this mobile version will run at a consistent 60 frames per second and offer controller support as well. The mobile adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will feature three control settings: the authentic PC/console experience, a mobile-optimized setting, and a casual mode that provides various assist options such as auto potions, auto parries, and even auto attacks. However, these settings can be customized further to suit your personal gaming style.

It’s quite logical that the game titled “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” would be a great fit for mobile devices, given its art style doesn’t require high-end graphics and its 2D action platforming gameplay is well-suited to smaller screens. Moreover, it seems plausible that another 2D title, this time developed by the creators of “Dead Cells“, called “The Rogue Prince of Persia“, might also find its way onto mobile devices in the future. However, the future of the “Prince of Persia” franchise doesn’t appear as promising, as the remake of “Sands of Time” required a development reboot and the team at Ubisoft Montpellier responsible for “The Lost Crown“, despite its critical acclaim, was disbanded.
