One week remains until the official release of “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown,” and Ubisoft has already ramped up their marketing efforts. The French publisher has granted press access for reviews and released a fully free playable demo for players. This provides an opportunity to experience this unique offering in comparison to previous Prince of Persia titles. Ubisoft is gauging market response, aiming to relaunch the franchise with a more ambitious 3D episode. However, this does not detract from the fact that the Metroidvania-style “Prince of Persia” has been well-received; reviews indicate that the game ranks among the most distinguished titles in this genre in 2D.
