After many years of waiting, Prince of Persia has returned in an all-new series entry called The Lost Crown. And a playable demo has come with it.
Said demo is freely available and offers a small slice of The Lost Crown‘s opening section, giving you an introduction to its story and cast, as well as a taste of its 2D side-scrolling platforming, exploration, and combat. It’s well worth checking out if all the glowing reviews haven’t convinced you. Plus, with the long-dormant Sands of Time remake still in development, this is going to be the only new Prince of Persia game available for a long while.
Here are all of the details on how to play the demo for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
