Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was one of Ubisoft’s more underrated titles in recent years, with the side-scrolling Metroidvania becoming the 2nd highest rated entry in franchise history. Unfortunately, sales for the game did not meet Ubisoft’s expectations, leading to the cancellation of a potential sequel. Despite this, new fans have continued to flock to the game – with it now surpassing 2 million total players.
Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Prince of Persia page shared the following: “Well over 2M players by now. You’ve revived the legend. The Prince is back, and believe us — he's just warming up.”
It is worth noting that 2 million players does not equate to 2 million copies sold, especially as The Lost Crown is available through PlayStation Plus. Still, the team did confirm back in January that the game had sold over 1.3 million copies.
Combine this with the more recent release of the game to both iOS and Android, and it’s possible that the game has sold at least 1.5 million copies.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the announcement was in the tease which stated “The Prince is back, and believe us — he's just warming up”. As mentioned, it was previously confirmed that The Lost Crown would not be getting a sequel, meaning they are unlikely to be teasing such a project.
Beyond this however, Ubisoft is still working on the remake for Prince of Persia The Sands of Time, as well as on-going development on the Early Access rogue-like ‘The Rogue Prince of Persia’; so perhaps that’s what they are referring to. We will have to wait and see.
