The company has officially confirmed that the metroidvania title Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has surpassed the 2 million players milestone. While exact sales numbers remain undisclosed, it's evident the project has finally met commercial expectations.

Over 2 million players and counting. You've brought the legend back to life. The Prince has truly returned - and believe us, this is just the beginning.

The Lost Crown combines the franchise's best classic elements: new protagonist Sargon, dynamic 2.5D action, challenging combat, puzzles, and platforming. This success appears particularly unexpected against the backdrop of the endlessly delayed Sands of Time remake.

Yet the ultimate irony lies in Ubisoft's own actions - back in late 2024, the company dissolved The Lost Crown's development team and canceled a planned sequel due to what were then considered disappointing sales. This decision came despite universally positive reception from both gaming media and players alike. Now, the entire situation appears rather foolish in retrospect.
