2024 has been a great year for Prince of Persia fans, with the release of two exciting games – The Lost Crown and The Rogue Prince of Persia. The latest news is that these two popular game genres, Metroidvania and roguelike, are coming together in a unique way.
The official Prince of Persia series Twitter account announced a special treat for fans – a new skin inspired by The Rogue Prince of Persia game. The skin, featuring a purple-hued Sargon outfit, adds a wild and distinctive look to the game. While this is not the first unconventional skin option in The Lost Crown, it certainly adds a new level of excitement for players.
The developers of The Rogue Prince of Persia, Evil Empire, humorously responded to the reveal by jokingly asking people to stop copying them, as the similarities between the two games are becoming more noticeable. However, it’s important to note that The Lost Crown was developed by Ubisoft, while The Rogue Prince of Persia was created by an indie studio and released in Early Access a few months after The Lost Crown.
The new crossover content arrives just before the launch of The Lost Crown’s story DLC, The Mask of Darkness, scheduled for release on September 17. This expansion introduces a whole new area in the game where players will face challenges without their usual powers, adding an extra layer of difficulty to the already challenging Metroidvania gameplay. For more details on The Mask of Darkness, you can visit the official Steam blog.
In addition to this exciting news, fans can explore a variety of other roguelike and Metroidvania games available today. Whether you’re a fan of challenging gameplay or immersive storytelling, there are plenty of options to choose from in these popular genres.
