Is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown open world?

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the latest entry in the beloved franchise and you may be wondering if it’s open world. We’ve got the answer right here.

The newest installment in the Prince of Persia franchise, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has just arrived and it’s the first installment in 13 years. The Ubisoft series has done a lot to define platformers over the years, and it was one of their primary focuses before they began working on the Assassin’s Creed series.

Prince of Persia titles have typically featured more linear designs but with Ubisoft venturing more into open world territory recently with titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, fans may be wondering if The Lost Crown is getting the open world treatment as well.

With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about whether or not the game is open world.

Is Lost Crown open world?

No, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is not an open-world game.

Like the Prince of Persia Sands of Time series games, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a more curated and linear platforming adventure, rather than an open-world game.

In fact, the game has more in common with the earlier 2D Metroidvania games than the ones on PS2 and PS3. Ubisoft has described The Lost Crown as a 2.5D side-scrolling action-adventure platform game, meaning it embraces the roots of the series, but will still features some modern elements and design choices.
