Prince of Persia The Lost Crown Takes A Different Story Approach
Until now, we weren't sure about Ubisoft's story direction for The Prince of Persia: TLC. However, the story trailer has cleared things up. Unlike before, we're not playing as the Prince this time around and our character is called by the name "Sargon".
This is a significant revelation because in previous games, we always played as an unnamed Prince. So, this new approach is a breath of fresh air, which the franchise might just need after being absent for so long.
Apart from not being the Prince, we now know that the skilled warrior Sargon is part of the elite group called "The Immortals". He's on a mission assigned by the queen herself to rescue the actual Prince of Persia, named Ghassan.
The Immortals is a group that has been tasked with traversing the mythological Mount Qaf to find the kidnapped royal. However, they will soon realize that time itself is a treacherous foe, and the balance of the world is in jeopardy.
