Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Announced for PS5, PS4, More Info at Ubisoft Forward

Graphics were not great but the gameplay looks fun.

What is it with modern game trailers and forcing rap into the most ill-fitting settings possible?

Rayman next, you cowards!

@Toilet_Goat not just games a lot of movies does the same thing lol

Looks fun. Hopefully it is.

@Americansamurai1 True, I remember there was some medieval central European movie last year that used rap throughout its entire trailer

Still looks great!! The amazing thing is its actually a classic side scroller:) no openworld, soulslike!! Its hard to believe. Are some devs actually listening at last.

(Maybe its my cynical side talking but) it looks like a mobile game which of course means will be bloated with microtransactions. Feels like no amount of sands of time will be enough to return Ubisoft to its (better) humble original roots.

Why does a Persian have dreadlocks?

A pleasant surprise! Definitely didn't see that coming. Looking forward to seeing more at Ubiforward!

Ah yes, the famous ancient Persian hairstyle with ancient Persian rap.

Ubisoft really knows its history.

I bet persians were sporting that hairstyle back then.
I saw it in multiple trailers now. Not sure what's so hip about it. The character design completely nopes me out from the game.

The exaggerated swagger of a black prince

@Toilet_Goat Street fighter 6 is good and I enjoy it and I have np with old school rap. But I agree with you and this is becoming a issue of forcing black culture on every medium and video games now. Prince of Persia is middle eastern. I'm all for equal rights and people being treated fairly. But this is becoming to much to the point that other cultures and heritage are getting washed out how fair is that?

Nah, can’t stand the trailer music, don’t like the protagonist (he looks like current gen us citizen rather than prince of persia), and the gameplay looks junky. Pass.

@Pat_trick - Historical hairstyle accuracy, really?

I'm pretty sure there weren't any scorpion tailed winged beasts, 100ft long snakes or walls with gigantic swinging blades in Persia either but surely Ubi's history department got that right, right?

@Shigurui Decided to ignore the rap part, I guess? Historical accuracy is not required, but Prince of Persia always had a certain aesthetic and this is clearly Ubisoft pandering to a certain audience. It really has a "how do you do, fellow kids?" vibe to it.

Also everything that you cited is fiction not modern, there's a distinction there.

@Pat_trick - Complains about Ubi historical accuracy but says it's not required, why complain then?

"Also everything that you cited is fictional not modern, there's a distinction there" - That entire sentence makes zero sense, it's pure gibberish and I didn't cite a single thing.

Not bad, but I would have preferred a new 3D game.

@shigurui
I've been following this site for 6 years now but never bothered to make an account until RIGHT NOW.

I'm Persian, my name is Sohrab Parsa, and I'm beyond disgusted. This MF here looks like and Egyption/Arab character at best and this is the worst insult to my culture.
We HATE, absolutely HATE when western people describe us as Arabs. No Persian in the entire 3,500 years history of Persia/Iran had dreadlocks.
YES, If they are saying Persia in the title, the character HAVE TO look like a Persian.
absolutely disgusted by this, and your POV.

Gameplay looks too fast, and too much action. There are tons of games like that already. IMHO, a Prince of Persia 2D game should look and play more like the classic PoP 1 & 2.

Imagine getting butthurt about a hairstyle...and switch graphics, really? 🙄

It's a new title in the series and they're still remaking another one too. Get a grip guys..

For anybody complaining about the look and hairstyle... please bring to memory that we had none other than Jake Gyllenhaal play the prince of persia in the not too distant past. I take this anyday!

Gameplay looks fun, they could absolutely kill it having the campaign a metroidvania while also adding a procedurally generated rogue like mode ala dead cells.

Oh that actually looks cool for a 2D game.

Why on earth is the Fast and the Furious soundtrack playing over Prince of Persia?

@Toilet_Goat Marketers just want to appeal to a certain crowd and due to its hands-free note-free sheer accessibility rap has become the lowest absolute most commonest denominator in popular music. I mean all the creche kids r doin it now, rhyming before they can damn walk and with that all encompassing nature I don’t see it shifting. A most potente form of psypops personally I think the world would be better off with frenzied j-pop even but here we are
