Despite critical acclaim, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown underperformed commercially, leading Ubisoft to reassign the development team at Ubisoft Montpellier to other projects, preventing them from creating additional content for the game. However, French reports indicate that Ubisoft has authorized the core creative team behind The Lost Crown to pitch new game concepts, suggesting a possible follow-up. Ubisoft has ambitious projects planned for 2026 and 2027, according to Insider Gaming, including over a dozen titles in development. These encompass remakes of popular games, the return of series like Rayman and Splinter Cell, new intellectual properties, and expansions to established franchises like Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft is also developing a currently unrevealed strategic initiative. Amidst delays, cancellations, criticism of formulaic game design, and internal scandals, Ubisoft is balancing remakes of established titles—such as Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, and Rayman—with riskier new projects like Alterra, Crest, and Maverick.

Ubisoft Revitalizes Prince of Persia with a New Metroidvania Concept from The Lost Crown Team and Project Rewind Developers

Currently, only the core team that conceived The Lost Crown is brainstorming ideas; if Ubisoft approves these concepts, the team will expand. Concurrently, a more experienced studio is developing Project Rewind, a reimagining of Prince of Persia intended to modernize the franchise while staying true to its roots, revitalizing the brand within Ubisoft’s portfolio. Fans of The Lost Crown would likely welcome a new Prince of Persia Metroidvania that respects the series’ essence while adding a unique touch.
