Details regarding the review embargo for Ubisoft’s upcoming action adventure platformer, Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown, have been revealed.
The review embargo for Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown is expected to be lifted next week, on Thursday, January 11, 2024, at 17:00 UTC/ 9AM PST/ 12AM EST/ 6PM CET. This is a few days ahead of the game’s launch on January 15, 2024.

The pre-load for Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown is expected to go live on PlayStation Network on January 13, 2024, two days prior to the game’s launch. It will come with the latest update pre-installed for those who pre-ordered a digital copy of the game, though a day one update may be rolled out closer to launch on January 15, 2024. Meanwhile, those who purchased the game on disc will need to download the day one update.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on January 18, 2024.
The Lost Crown is a 2.5D side-scrolling action-adventure platform video game featuring the protagonist, Sargon. Sargon is capable of jumping, sliding, and air dashing for swift platform traversal. His pair of blades can be utilized to combat enemies, and a well-timed parry builds up Sargon’s Athra’s Glow, unlocking a special ability when completely filled. Players can access various time-based powers for both combat and platforming, such as Rush of the Simurgh for instantaneous time travel and Shadow of the Simurgh, allowing the placement of a temporary checkpoint. Additionally, Sargon can be equipped with talismans that modify his abilities. The game also includes elements typically seen in Metroidvania video games.
