Rumors began to swirl yesterday that the development team of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown were no longer, well, a team. Due to poor sales performance, it was said that Ubisoft decided to disband the clearly talented group that developed the latest Prince of Persia outing. Today, Ubisoft confirmed the news.
In a statement issued to Eurogamer, The Lost Crown's senior producer, Abdelhak Elguess, confirmed the disappointing news. "Most of the team members who worked on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown have shifted to other projects that will benefit from their expertise," Mr. Elguess said.
Ubisoft confirmed that no layoffs occurred due to the team's shuffling. The game was developed under the umbrella of Ubisoft Montpellier. The primary reason most fans are disappointed by the news is because many were hoping for a continuation of the new 2.5D Metroidvania take on the series. When it launched in January, Hardcore Gamer's Chris Shive gave the title an impressively positive review. On Metacritic, the game sits in the high 80s across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
