Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will not have a sequel, since despite its critical success, the Ubisoft Montpellier game apparently did not meet the company’s sales expectations. Allegedly, although the team was interested in working on a sequel, Ubisoft did not agree given the game’s financial results. For the company, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown It didn’t sell what I expected, in addition to feeling that a new installment would cannibalize the original game.
To top it all off, the development team would have been disbanded (via It will reset).
Internally, the game’s fate was already decided a few weeks after the game’s release. It became clear that after releasing some DLC and cosmetics, this would be the end. Some members of the core development team struggled to get a sequel greenlit, which didn’t happen, then pushed for two expansions in hopes it would work this time. Ubisoft needed more hands to help with other projects that had greater sales potential, which did not happen with the Prince of Persia ‘metroidvania’ style The Lost Crown.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown received its story DLC’Mask of Darkness‘last September.
