This follows from the roadmap for post-release support for the title presented by the developers: Ubisoft Montpellier intends to develop the game at least until the end of this year.
As part of this cycle, there will be three free updates, as well as the aforementioned story addition. The first such update will be released next week, March 20. It will feature a mode for speedrunners, permanent character death for hardcore fans, and new clothes.
Later in the spring they will release an update with a boss fight mode (new clothes will also appear again), and in the summer they will introduce new challenges, amulets and costumes.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will be released on January 18, 2024. The game was very warmly received by both players and critics, which is very rare for modern projects from Ubisoft, but its sales are still poor, as eloquently evidenced by the fact that after a couple of months it is on sale with a substantial 40% discount.
