A new trailer for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has seemingly leaked, revealing a playable demo that will drop on January 11, one week before the Metroidvania comes to PC, Amazon Luna, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S on January 18, 2024.
The trailer, uploaded by PlayStation Brazil, is no longer accessible, very much suggesting that it may have been uploaded by accident. It seems likely that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was set to drop tonight as part of this year’s Game Awards, or at the least, sometime in the next few weeks. Of course, some keen-eyed fans, including X/Twitter user @BossBigBoss73, were quick to capture the video and reupload it.
Today’s footage focuses on the story while still giving a few more glimpses at gameplay, including some death-defying platformer sections over and around spike pits. It’s a two-minute trailer that highlights gruesome foes and protagonist Sargon’s stylish combat as well as that aforementioned demo.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was revealed at Summer Games Fest earlier this year as a fresh take on Ubisoft’s classic action-adventure franchise. While the publisher is still hard at work on its Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, The Lost Crown is set to tell a new story with new mechanics and visuals.

More recently, the project appeared during a Nintendo Direct to show off around one minute of more gameplay and how it will evolve throughout the journey.
