Prince of Persia The Lost Crown steps in for Sands of Time in 2024

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown was announced at Summer Game Fest 2023, bringing the franchise back to its 2D roots on PS5 and PS4.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown trophies are going to have to tide you over if you've been waiting on Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Remake trophies for the last few years. While the previously announced remake remains missing in action, the newly announced Prince of Persia The Lost Crown will bring the series back to its 2D roots on PS5 and PS4 next year.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown announced at Summer Game Fest

Announced at Summer Game Fest 2023, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown will release for PS5 and PS4 on Thursday, January 18, 2024. The trailer shows off a new band of characters called The Immortals who are setting out to rescue the Prince, who has apparently been kidnapped. Will our yet-to-be-announced protagonist fulfill his destiny and rescue the kingdom?

The trailer looks great with lots of fluid action, but many fans will surely be distracted by the absence of the previously announced The Sands of Time PS5 Remake. Last we heard, Prince of Persia The Sands of Time remake preorders were canceled, presumably because the title was getting more development time. Since then, it's been radio silence.
