The first major free update for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is finally available on consoles and PC. It adds highly anticipated content.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown has been available on consoles and PC for some time and has made a huge impression since its release. A solid Metroidvania, very pleasant and artistically successful, a real comeback for a license that has unfortunately been missing for some time. Building on this success, the Ubisoft studio is taking intensive care of its foal and has even announced many free additions. The wait was worth it, as the game received its first free update at the end of March.
Lots of free content for Prince of Persia The Lost Crown
While this update for Prince of Persia The Lost Crown isn’t huge, it does contain a ton of interesting new features and even little gifts! Two game modes, free skins and lots of fixes, that’s in short what awaits you in this beautiful patch. Perfect for this type of experience, and more desired by the community elsewhere, is the Speedrun mode introduced with this update. You can then enter your best times and compare them with the rest of the world.
For lovers of hardcore challenges there is also a permadeath mode, there is no excitement here, if you ever pass the weapon to the left, it’s over, done, and you have to start over. In short, the ultimate difficulty. There are also some gifts, including four unique outfits for Sargon. If the guy already had lessons, he could really shine this time. We’ll also notice an item that completionists will love: a map that reveals the location of ALL important collectibles. The only condition is that you must purchase it after completing the game for the first time. For the rest, these are mainly corrections related to the general ergonomics of the menus and an improvement in the ATH.
