Prince of Persia, one of the most beloved series in the gaming world, is going through a difficult period. Although the last production of the series, The Lost Crown, received positive reactions, it pushed Ubisoft to an unexpected decision. It was revealed that the series, which failed to achieve commercial success, was canceled.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown sequel canceled
It may be the end of the road for the Prince of Persia series. According to the latest leaks, Ubisoft has canceled the sequel to the recently released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It was stated that the company closed the studio that developed The Lost Crown.
The Lost Crown was highly praised for its 2.5D gameplay and the development process was very positive. However, the sales of the game failed to meet Ubisoft’s expectations. This led the company to reject the idea of producing DLC packs and sequels.
More interestingly, Ubisoft is worried that the sequel could negatively affect the sales of the first production. With the development team disbanded, it looks like the rebooted story of The Lost Crown will not continue.
The cancellation is also a blow to the Prince of Persia series, which has been in limbo for some time. It should be noted that The Sands of Time remake, which was first announced in 2020, has been postponed indefinitely and is starting over with a new developer.
On the other hand, Ubisoft’s founding Guillemot family started to evaluate various options to protect and stabilize the value of the company. According to Bloomberg, Guillemot Brothers Ltd, which is owned by the family and has a 20 percent stake in Ubisoft, has started talks with consultants.
