The wait is over for mobile gamers: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Ubisoft’s critically acclaimed action-adventure platformer, has officially launched on iOS and Android devices. Released earlier this year on consoles and PC, the game’s arrival on mobile platforms marks a bold step for the iconic franchise, blending its signature time-bending storytelling with touchscreen-friendly gameplay.
A Return to Form, Reimagined for Mobile
The Lost Crown revitalizes the beloved Prince of Persia series with a fresh protagonist, Sargon, a young warrior of the Immortals clan tasked with rescuing a kidnapped prince from a cursed city. The game combines fluid parkour, acrobatic combat, and time-manipulation mechanics, all reworked for mobile devices. Players navigate labyrinthine environments, solve intricate puzzles, and battle mythical foes in a visually stunning Persian-inspired world.
Ubisoft has optimized the experience for smaller screens, introducing intuitive touch controls alongside customizable layouts. For those who prefer a traditional feel, the game also supports Bluetooth controllers. Cross-progression via Ubisoft Connect allows players to pick up where they left off across platforms—a boon for fans juggling mobile and console play.
Where to Download
The mobile version of The Lost Crown is now available for purchase and download. You can grab it on the App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android, or snag the console edition on Amazon.
Praise for the Port
Early reviews praise the mobile adaptation’s performance, with critics highlighting its crisp visuals (running at 60fps on supported devices) and seamless adaptation of combat mechanics. The game’s Metroidvania-style progression—unlocking abilities to access new areas—feels right at home on mobile, perfect for bite-sized exploration sessions.
“Bringing The Lost Crown to mobile was about preserving its heart while rethinking how it plays,” said a Ubisoft spokesperson. “We wanted both longtime fans and newcomers to feel the thrill of the franchise, whether they’re on a couch or a commute.”
A Legacy Reforged
Since its 1989 debut, Prince of Persia has redefined action-platformers, inspiring genre giants like Assassin’s Creed. The Lost Crown continues this legacy, blending nostalgia with modern design. Its mobile debut could also signal a shift for AAA publishers eyeing the growing premium mobile market.
