Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Has Faced Criticism
Contrary to the expectation that a new Prince of Persia game announcement would bring excitement and joy to gamers, the reactions to the recent unveiling of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown video have been largely negative, with the game's teaser receiving a significant number of dislikes. The new game video was released during the Summer Game Fest 2023, and it appears that many long-time fans have been disappointed with what has been shown of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown so far.
Prince of Persia is one of Ubisoft's most beloved franchises. From the original 2D platformer in 1989 to the Sands of Time trilogy in the early 2000s, this commercial property has been a significant success and even served as an inspiration for games like the first Assassin's Creed. However, sadly, the series has largely been forgotten over the past decade. Ubisoft recently announced a new Prince of Persia game and a remake of Sands of Time, but both titles have received poor reception and faced harsh criticism from fans.
While the gameplay of the upcoming game seems decent, essentially all other aspects have been criticized, and top comments on the YouTube video demonstrate the overall negative reaction. For instance, one user states that every time a new Prince of Persia game is announced, they consider "finding a new hobby." Another person complains that gamers have been anticipating a new Prince of Persia for many years, only to find out that it lacks the true essence of Prince of Persia. Many others voice their dissatisfaction with the choice of music used in the video, as they find rap to be an odd selection for a game based on ancient Persian mythology.
Disappointed fans of the upcoming Prince of Persia may have to wait a while longer before they can get their hands on a complete 3D game. Just a few weeks ago, Ubisoft announced that the remake of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time will not be released in 2023
