- Ubisoft Connect Services: a simpler launch experience on Steam - 10 September 2026
Starting with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, we are testing a new Ubisoft Connect Services Steam tool that keeps Ubisoft game features such as cross-progression, cross-play, player safety, challenges and rewards, among others, without requiring the Ubisoft Connect PC launcher to be installed or launched. This first version is an initial step toward a smoother and more streamlined launch experience on Steam. We will continue to iterate and improve Ubisoft Connect Services over time, with the goal of delivering the features and services players use and expect while making the Steam experience as seamless as possible. Ubisoft Connect Services will progressively evolve and roll out to more Ubisoft games on Steam in the future.

- The Mask of Darkness DLC: A look at what's coming for you - 12 September 2024
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's tale of monsters, mythology, and Immortals left one conspicuous thread unresolved: the fate of the mysterious masked Immortal, Radjen. In the Mask of Darkness DLC, you will discover a new chapter of Sargon's story as you confront the myriad dangers of Radjen's Mind Palace. But the new DLC is much more than a story expansion, opening up a whole new biome filled with fresh traversal elements, traps, enemies, and more. To give you a taste of what's ahead, here are the four biggest things to watch out for: Bring Your Skills, Leave Your Powers Available once players have escaped the Depths and acquired the Shadow of the Simurgh time power, Radjen's Mind Palace is a sizable new area that players can teleport to from a hidden room in Mount Qaf's Lower City. This means two things: this DLC seamlessly integrates into your new or ongoing playthrough and it can e…

- An introductory guide on Amulets - 30 August 2024
Did you ever think, how can I customize my playstyle more? How can I survive a killing blow and come back to get that last itty bit of health off the boss left instead of restarting the whole fight? Well, that my friends, is where amulets come into play. Amulets are a way to change your playstyle in the game. Want to build for health and survivability? You can do that! Want to explore a long-ranged combat focus? You can do that too! Want those beautiful swords to do even more damage? Yup, you guessed it you can do that too. There are 41 total amulets in the game, 37 in the main game, and 4 from the latest Divine Trials update. Sadly, you cannot equip them all at once; you will have to be selective in choosing which amulets you want to equip and when. The limiting factor, outside of Sargon’s neck muscles, are amulet holders. Starting with three, you’ll find up to nine more on your journe…

- Return to the Haven - 22 August 2024
You’ve gone to the Haven and met The Mage, Fariba, unlocked the Wak-Wak tree, you saw Artaban, and met Kaheva, then you unlocked the fast travel point, so why would you want to return?

- The First Hours - 21 August 2024
You know your mission; enter Mount Qaf and save Prince Ghassan. Now that you are here, how do you survive this perilous place to complete your mission? Upon entering Mount Qaf you will be met with enemies to teach you how to use your abilities along your journey. Be sure to pay attention to the skills and techniques that will be shown to you. Some tips to help you along your journey: 1. Parry and Dodge! The art of parrying requires good timing, (trust me I would know) but it negates the damage and leaves the enemy open for a counterattack. Note that the parry can also deflect projectiles. Some enemies can perform a Reckless Attack, indicated by a yellow light flashing up in their eyes. If you get the timing right and parry these attacks, the enemy takes significant damage during an exciting and powerful counterattack animation. Don't miss the chance There are some attacks that you canno…
- Hotfix: Save Synchronization - 19 August 2024
As planned last week, a new hotfix was just rolled out earlier today. With this 167.94MB hotfix, a major issue resulting in the loss of progress should be resolved. Again, thank you for raising this issue and sharing all the details and specificities with our support teams on all platforms. It helped us greatly in identifying the cause of the problem. What was happening? The automatic upload of the save into the cloud had a chance to fail in some cases, causing synchronization issues. This could lead to conflicting save states, resulting in a loss of progression. Now, with this latest hotfix, Auto save upload has been disabled to avoid further issues. In case you would need it, manual saving into the cloud is still possible via the in-game Save Management menu. You can copy your save into the "Cloud save slot". Just don't forget to upload your save before closing the game. 💡Please be m…
- Hotfix: Saving the game & visual indicator - 13 August 2024
With this 163.7MB hotfix, a major issue resulting in the loss of progress should be resolved. Thanks to all of you flagging the issue, but also sharing details and specificities on it with our support teams. It’s because of your input that our developers were able to publish this hotfix as early as today. About the issue In some rare cases a game could be stuck in an endless attempt to save the game and indicating that it succeeded in doing so, when in fact it was stuck in an ongoing loop of attempts. Closing the game while the loop was ongoing would result in the loss of progress. Now, the following issues were addressed with this latest hotfix: Game stuck in endless loop, attempting to save the game at a Wak-Wak Tree. Visual “saving in progress”-indicator disappearing while the process was not actually finished. 💡Please be mindful that if this latest hotfix was not automatically appl…

- Accessibility Spotlight - 1 August 2024
The game offers up challenging combat and platforming, but the development team wanted to make sure that anyone who wants to get their hands on this game can play it and have fun. To learn more about how Ubisoft Montpellier is making Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown accessible, we spoke to Senior Game Designer Rémi Boutin. What was your approach to accessibility on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown? Rémi Boutin: Accessibility was an early consideration for us. We integrated it into the creative vision for the game and approached it from several angles. We applied design thinking around the specific barriers and opportunities that our genre and game presents, referenced existing good practices and guidance, and worked in close collaboration with the internal accessibility team at Ubisoft. Learning directly from the audience though user research has been very important as well, and is some…
- Developer Insights: Music & Sound - 30 July 2024
Guess who’s back? Back Again? The Community Team is back, this time to talk about how our sound designers built an immersive world using music and sound. (tell a friend) To Bring a World to Life For Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the sound designers wanted a fresh hot take on the music and sound, but with a touch of legacy. To do this, they immersed themselves with sounds and soundtracks of earlier titles for inspiration, while working on their own way to support the beautiful and fantastic game direction, specifically for those awesome time powers and monsters. Just wait until you hear those bangers playing while you are fighting a boss. You’ll know what I mean soon. SFX & Soundscape They say ‘you eat with your eyes’, and well, we say ‘you play with your ears’. So, let’s quickly agree that the ambience and world in a video game just won’t work the same way without sound. I mean, eve…
- Dev Art: Discover Your Allies - 26 July 2024
From reading all of our insights here on Steam, you know by now: Your journey with Sargon will surely be eventful, and to lift that time curse, you’ll need brains, brawn, and endurance. Good thing you don’t have to do it all by your lonesome and you’ll meet allies, friends you can rely on in tough times, old mentors, or just… trees and children. Yes, trees! Moving on. To counterbalance the vast array of creepy crawlies and fiery fiends that inhabit Mount Qaf, the dev team created a rich cast of friendly NPCs to help you along the way. NEITH & ARTABAN Neith is a member of the Immortals. To most, her past is a mystery. Rumors suggest that she could be originally from the kingdom of Kush, far into the south. Along with Sargon, she’s one of the youngest of the Immortals. With her temper and her spear, she can keep everyone at a distance – however, it seems she sees more in Sargon than what…
- Developer Insights: Story - 24 July 2024
It’s time for another mini-dev dive, we’ve talked about Sargon, controls, world-building , and platforming. Now it’s time to talk about the beautiful story and all the elements the dev team had to consider when crafting their story for a Prince of Persia Metriodvania. 🎥 All this talk about story reminds me, come watch the live stream tomorrow, July 25, 2024 at 11 AM EST 6PM CEST, where I will go through some of the story in the upper citadel. To Tell a Story The most important aspect for any story is that the emotions need to be real. And, making a strong story in a Metriodvania did not come without its difficulties. Since, ya know, you can go left, right, up, down, skip some sections, and jump around. So, when writing the narration, the dev team had to think about the many options that players may take and consider other ways to tell the story than through cinematics and dialogue. And…
