Just when we thought we were out, they pull us back in! Ubisoft has today revealed a first look at the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown post-launch roadmap, which lays out three free content updates and a new story DLC, all coming our way in 2024.
The first of these content updates, 'Warrior's Path' will arrive next week on 20th March and will add a Speedrun and Permadeath Mode as well as a selection of new outfits for Sargon. The following two will be landing in Spring and Summer respectively, with the promise of even more outfits and a Boss Rush Mode first, and then new challenges, amulets and more later.
This will all cap off later in 2024 with a paid story DLC about which we still know very little.
The Lost Crown devs teased that more content was on its way back in February, but we weren't expecting quite this much consistency in the post-launch roll-out. Guess we won't be forgetting this one in a hurry, then.
If you are yet to try out Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, it is well worth a look. We awarded the game an 'Excellent' 9/10 in our review earlier this year, praising just about every element on offer and calling it "the first must-play of 2024".
Are you excited about these new updates? Flip down to the comments and let us know.

Just the story DLC is worth coming back
Oh cool! I’ll wait until everything is out to buy.
The buzz was that its initial sales were much lower than expected, so it's good that they keep supporting it with content. Hope this game has a long tail, sales-wise.
@Qwiff They need to release it on Steam…god knows how many sales they missed out on by not having it there
@Qwiff This game suffered the problem Zelda and Mario have in the past, a divisive fan base. There are those that prefer 2D/Side Scroller PoP, and those that prefer 3D PoP. Unfortunately when they showed off a 2D Metroidvania style return to the roots of PoP, that cheesed a lot of the 3D fans. Which is a shame because if they chose not to get it they’re truly missing out on a great game.
Too many people judge a book by its cover now days, and instead of just picking up the game to try it, they let a YouTube influencer determine their thoughts and feelings.
Question - does Ubi tend to put out a physical version with DLC included? If so I might hold off for that version
Honestly one of the beat games I've ever played. Incredibly excited for all of this!
I hope enough people bought it for a sequel to be produced. I don't know enough about video game economy to say if that was the case. I think it was a pretty solid game, but metroidvania is my favorite style of games.
@topher6490 I'm glad you enjoyed it that much. The story fell flat for me during the last third and I had some bugs preventing completion. I'd definitely be down for a sequel or another playable character dlc.
This game is absolutely stunning with incredible physics and more!!!! Buy this game!!!!!!!!!!
@Dm9982 This game also suffers from the fact that Ubisoft has spent the last 15 years training gamers not to get their games near launch. It looks fun and I plan to own it one day, but why get it now when it'll be on sale for 75-90% off with the DLC included within a year?
I thought I was slick when I got Immortals Fenix Rising for 60 percent off of its retail price a couple of months after launch, but it's been on sale for $9-10, and I was kicking myself for not waiting until then since I have yet to play it.
I miss when games were complete.
The only valid DLC, for me, are the cosmetics ones. I buy every bikini DLC when avaiable.
@Rozetta pervert!
@Rozetta just because a game is getting DLC doesn't mean it's incomplete
@burninmylight This is true of all third party devs now days. Not saying im complaining about cheaper games, by all means save me money! Lol
Back in the 90s it was rare for games to drop too far beloww their retail points within the first year or year and a half. You might see Killer Instinct for $74.99 at Toys R Us for a year before it dropped to $69.99.
Steam/Pc sales have a LARGE portion to do with why we have such cheap games within a short time frame too. I remember Borderlands 3 launching for normal price, my friend got the legendary edition through Amazon for $100 at first, before it shipped he’d already gotten $20 back and within the year there had been a sale so Amazon refunded another 40 on top of that. He ended up paying only $40 for a $100 game within the first 9 months of its life span…..
Every game has DLC these days.
ubisoft is garbage bin stuff
@StudMuffin They often do gold editions at launch with the regular retail editions, but these are always codes for the season pass. They've never had all DLC on disc/cartridge except rereleases on future platforms, to my knowledge.
Im yet to grab this game, based on what ive seen on the demo, it is right my alley and thats why i would like to give my money to ubisoft, on the other hand, its going to get a discount soon and i love to save money, oh decisions!!
Just picked this up yesterday. I'm glad it's still getting post launch support.
Every Metroid-like should have a boss rush mode so that you can better perfect your runs through the game.
And more bug fixes please. The game started just fine but the end wasn't great in that regard.
The game is great though and people should definitely give it a try.
I'll pick this up when everything is released. More than happy to wait, but genuinely looking forward to it!
Maybe the updates/DLC will address the “plot hole” of Radjen who basically stands around, speaks one line and is promptly forgotten - unless I have missed something. This has always bugged me in an otherwise exceptional game.
@_Figo_
They are launching free DLC. So no excuses. They should be in the cart. Now, those who bought the physical version have an incomplete game, unless they go online and update it.
Great news even though I might not play everything these free updates have to offer and I don't know when I'll do so considering I'm still not that far into the main game!
@Dm9982 Just got an alert from Deku Deals that the game is on sale for 40 percent off now. 😛
You're absolutely right, but I think Ubi is the most well-known publisher for teaching customers to wait it out, even though EA, Activision and Capcom do similar things.
