2024 brought us lots of fantastic games, but one that remains largely overlooked (or, at least, it feels that way) is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Releasing on PS5 and PS4 in January of last year, the game attracted critical acclaim and lots of love from those who played it, but never made as big an impact as it perhaps deserved to. Still, having said that, the game recently confirmed it's reached "well over" 2 million players:

In a social post, the player count figure is made official, and it comes alongside a tease of more things to come for the Prince of Persia series.

Indeed, we already know about side-scrolling roguelike The Rogue Prince of Persia, which is poised to come to consoles eventually, and there's also the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake still in development.

Whether the post is suggesting yet more is on the way, it's hard to say.

Earlier this year, it was reported the game had sold about 1.3 million copies in its first year. While that's not to be sniffed at, the team was dispersed among other projects within Ubisoft rather than kept together, suggesting it wasn't quite performing well enough for work to continue.

The game did receive some post-launch support and DLC despite this, though perhaps it would've gotten more if the sales were stronger.

Anyway, 2 million players ain't bad, and it sounds like Prince of Persia is sort-of back on the agenda for Ubisoft. Whether that includes a follow-up to The Lost Crown is unknown, but we'd be there for it.
