Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - Reboot or Sequel?

The wait for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is almost over, with only a few days left before the series receives its first new title in over 13 years. The original games were mainly action-platformers focused on high-paced gameplay that was glued together by a gripping story. With the past decade being dominated by reboots and remakes of pretty much any beloved franchise, many players are wondering which direction Ubisoft has taken for The Lost Crown. So, is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown a reboot or a sequel? Here is everything you need to know about the latest installment in the series.

Is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown a Reboot or a Sequel?

According to Ubisoft, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is neither a reboot nor a sequel, but it will share elements of the previous installments of the series. Whether that means certain story elements, characters, or the setting itself remains to be seen, but from what we can see, the game looks like it might be heading in its own direction.

In The Lost Crown, players are going to be taking control of a new protagonist, called Sargon, who is part of a group called The Immortals. Sargon's main objective in the game is to restore the true ruler of Persia, Prince Ghassan, who has been taken against his will. While these are new characters, we have to remember that a big part of the Prince of Persia series is the ability to bend time, so there are a lot of opportunities for the story to become connected to the previous installments of the series.

That is everything we know about where The Lost Crown is going to fit in the Prince of Persia universe. While Ubisoft has mostly remained silent on the topic, all of these questions will be answered on January 15th with the launch of the game.
