Gameplay:

In Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, players will find themselves in control of multiple time-based powers for both combat and platforming. Rush of the Simurgh allows Sargon to dash forward through time instantly, while Shadow of the Simurgh allows him to place a “shadow marker,” which serves as a short-term checkpoint that players can return to instantly. Sargon can be equipped with talismans that alter his abilities. Sargon can use his pair of blades to defeat enemies. A well-timed parry will help build up Sargon’s Athra’s Glow, which allows him to unleash a special ability when it is completely filled.

Plot:

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown introduces a hero named Sargon, a youthful member of a warrior tribe titled The Immortals. Sargon must travel to the cursed city of Mount Qaf to rescue the kidnapped Prince Ghassan.
