In a post shared Thursday celebrating a new player milestone for last year's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the game's publisher, Ubisoft, has seemingly teased a potential sequel.
The post, which commemorates over 2,000,000 players, notes the following: "You’ve revived the legend. The Prince is back, and believe us — he's just warming up."
Thursday's post is particularly noteworthy as it was reported late last year that the company had turned down a sequel, as well as expansion pitches from its Montpellier team, before ultimately disbanding the team altogether, a report that the company later confirmed.
The only thing to blame for The Lost Crown's failings is Ubisoft mismanagement.
At the time, it was reported that the game's "poor sales" were to blame for the lack of future entries, with Ubisoft shifting personnel to projects it reportedly felt had a higher sales potential.
During its launch window, Insider Gaming reported that the game had netted roughly $15 million in revenue due to sales of around 300,000. By the end of its first year, it crossed 1.3 million in sales, per Eurogamer. The game has only grown in player base in the year-plus since its release.
