2024's best Metroidvania (so far) Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has taken a patch today on PS5, PS4 that bundles in two new boss-related modes and some quality-of-life updates to make fast travelling across its vast map far easier. If you beat the challenge posed in the Boss Rush mode, you'll unlock a new skin for Sargon based on the 2008 instalment.
Boss Rush tasks you with beating all eight main bosses from the base game in a row, with the chance to swap amulets and Athra Surges between them. A press release only talks of "keeping an eye" on your health and potions during the run, suggesting they may not be replenished between each fight. If you just want to battle a single boss, though, then the other Boss Revenge mode allows you to do so, and a leaderboard tracks your best attempts.
In addition, the base game has seen an improvement for its fast travel system, with Wak-Wak Trees now letting you freely teleport between them. Before the update, you'd need to use the limited Homa Statues to fast travel. Now, you can quickly reach so many more places a lot faster.
This is the second of four post-launch updates Ubisoft has planned for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, with the third one adding new combat, puzzle, and platforming challenges alongside new amulets and outfits. The last content drop will be a paid story-focused DLC arriving later in 2024. Will you be trying your best to overcome all of the game's boss fights in a row? Let us know in the comments below.

Wait, you needed a resource to fast travel?
I don't think I ever noticed and I got like 99% on the game (that's enough for the platinum and then some)
@Voltan
I think they're referring to the fast travel "portals" that are statues instead of a material/item.

This one is an amazing game! Don't sleep on it, people.
@Voltan @Lup Yeah, those statues you repair when you interact with them to form a fast travel point.
Fast traver is really a gamechanger, expecially if you want the platinum (it was really tedious using only the statues)
I literally stopped playing and uninstalled this game because I Hated dieing and then having to remember where i was or how to get back to where i was and travel for an hour just to get back up to the top of the map. Fast Travel is a must for all games.
@Solingo_Bill @LiamCroft Oh right, I forgot the travel points weren't at the trees, just usually near them
I was confused because I thought "limited" implied a consumable.
Lol - platted this last week and had to use the previous method of fast travel. Typical!
Brilliant game!
Sweet! This game just so happens to be on deck for me.
