Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown not coming to Steam?

[🍃🪻🪷Sylvie🩵🍸🍵]

Why's Prince of Persia; The Lost Crown not available on Steam but still available for pre-order on console and EGS? And why does the PC version require Ubisoft account to play the game?! What gives?

And why isn’t it though? We are we playing a prince of Persia game that’s not starring the prince? Ever ask yourself that question?

Yeah you're right! How didn't I think of this? It would be like playing a Zelda game that doesn't have Zelda as the main character. That would be INSANE.

Every Zelda game has starred link. Every Prince of Persia game has starred the prince. Play dumb and feign ignorance if you want. Maybe you’re not pretending. Maybe you truly are a water brained clown.

More like Prince of Africa with that hair.

That's not the prince dumbass

Might as well be. He is on the cover and it says Prince of Persia below it with big letters. He also uses time powers and does wallrunning which are the personal moves of the prince. You are literally playing the prince but they just changed the name and people like you actually fall for it and think it's more than a different skin. He is like a black spiderman, a replacement for the original hero. I wouldn't even be surprised if at the end of the game it was revealed that he is a prince as well or he somehow becomes a prince by the end.

Or they make the prince the villain or some stupid modernism nonsense.

Very good point 😆

The game is getting excellent reviews. Every review I read says it nails the platforming, action and exploration. Sad to see they are not releasing it in steam. But comments here on the thread are just stupid. Hating the game because of the character’s hair? Or because the lead character is different than expected?

I am a bit bummed that they are not releasing it on Steam. If I’m paying full retail anyway, would have rather had it on Steam. Easier to load up on the steam deck. But it’s not a big deal. It’s not like it takes more than a few seconds to add EGS games to steam deck. I find it funny that people “hate” an online store. It’s just a store. Yes, we have our preferences, but if they don’t work out I would rather play the game than whine about which launcher I had to use.

I am glad they decided to take a risk and go to metroidvania style. By all accounts this game is doing a lot of new things within than genre which is rare in this well established genre. Can’t wait to play the game.

That doesn't mean anything to me personally, Disney, Star Wars and Marvel movies have good reviews too.

Just like how the main character is borrowing the role and abilities of the Prince, same way this game borrows pretty much all of it's aspects and systems from other games where this formula have worked before. Don't let the different backgrounds, characters and colors fool you into thinking that they have created something original here.

That's a morbid oversimplification of things. Just because one comment says "I don't like his hair." that doesn't mean this is the only issue with the game, but not everyone likes to write long comments.

There are some things just fundamentally wrong with these kind of games for example Ubisoft and EA makes. Some people see through the nice visuals and other marketing distractions and see how soulless these games really are, simply trying to imitate emotions like a robot by copying other games and replacing the main character, but weirdly enough keeping the name Prince of Persia.

I don't think it's a risk at all, games like these are usually a lot cheaper to develop than a third person action game like we had before. Especially nowadays. It's a well calculated business move, not a risk. Maybe a calculated risk, so even if it doesn't sell well at least it was cheap to make.

We have mobile games now that look like this or even better and play very similarly too.

I'm not going to play it, but you feel free to enjoy it as much as you like.

Have fun.

It looks like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown isn't available on Steam, and there might be a couple of reasons for that. Ubisoft actually decided to leave Steam back in early 2019, so they don't release their games on Steam right at the initial release date anymore. Instead, they tend to delay the Steam release for a few years. Yeah it takes years now!

If you want to dive deeper into the details and get some predictions about when it might come to Steam, you can check out this article I found: "https://buycheapplaycheap.com/gaming-news/is-prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-launching-on-steam/". It provides a good explanation of the situation and offers some insights into possible release dates. Hope this helps clarify things!

Id rather want a POP 3D remaster on steam than this trash. After then ubi can go bankrupt for all I care, looking at the quality of their products.

I dont think that even qualifies for a Egyptian. Theyre pretty much stealing the middle east culture at this point.

Yeah its a mixture of different themes. Id except some arab persian stuff cause they fit next to eachother mostly. But it doesnt fit.

At the time when warrior within came out it felt american. But you know what upon playing the game i liked the metal ost and the dark theme where the prince pretty much lost his kingdom. Its a good game

And to honor your request. Prince of persia 3d is awesome. Im sure the souls fans will like it especially if its remade it will be like a souls game im sure. The battles were one o one and heavy.

Back to that new pop crown whatever. It simply is not prince of persia. Its literally not there. And that in itself is a shame. They can give it a positive review everywhere. But u know you cant trust the media. I played the demo and its total garbage when u compare it with castlevania bloodstained metroid and even record of the lodoss war. This game is what you call a wooden like character he moves like pinnochio and it was made to cater the possibility to always win
(For the inepts)

To backtrack a bit they wanted to remake sands of time and it was made by hindu people who tarnished the god demn remake and everybody looked hindu so they had to ditch the game. And now we see this prince of persia crown whatever.

Mark my words. If you see the developer team you will realise why the game looks the way it is.
These mofos cater themselves and are on tbeir smartphone all the time while looking outta the window hoping the clock ticks 5 to go home

Cheap game
Cheap developers
But good pr.

Thats all man

Ubisoft being Ubisoft. I thought when they returned to Steam, they were staying on Steam.

How PoP The Lost Crown should have launched on PC:

Day 1 Release on Steam
Steam Achievements
No Denuvo
No VMprotect

Is Ubisoft’s new strategy to launch their titles on Ubisoft Connect first and then Steam? Really why, because when they returned to Steam there was severe backlash mainly because of no Steam Achievement support.

Guess i wont get the lost crown then… it looked cool but guess i just cant get it

So, are we looking at a year delay before the game hits Steam do you think?

That's how usually it is with Epic exclusive games. At least a year, but sometimes more.

Link? In Ocarina of Time the protagonist name was VinylTheClown if I remember it correctly. At leaat that was the name I chose at the time. Have you played it?

How DARE they change something, right? If it was up to you, I bet we would never have Prince of Persia with dialogs or wall running or any of the stuff we saw in SoT. That was "uncharacteristic" of the prince and not true to the original game. But many will say that was an improvement.

Well...at least I'm not an idiot who critizes a game without having played it. Very smart...but I guess anyone could expect that from you, right?

Have you even read what the game is about? lol. "I know ♥♥♥♥ about this game but me not like it" is all I hear.
