Ubisoft’s silence on the sales figures for side-scrolling title Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has led to quite a few rumours speculating on how well it’s done. According to a new LinkedIn post, the title reportedly sold 1.3 million copies in its first year.
This comes from former associate marketing director Alexandre Guenounou’s profile, as spotted by X user Timur222. If true, these sales figures would lend credence to earlier rumours from back in October that indicated that the game had sold 1 million copies at the time.
Initial sales figures of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown were rumoured to have been around 300,000 copies back in January 2024. After releasing last year, the title allegedly failed to meet Ubisoft’s sales expectations, leading to Ubisoft rejecting pitches for further expansions and a potential sequel.
Ubisoft has since confirmed that the development team for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown had moved on to other projects. It wrapped up its post-launch content roadmap with the release of free updates as well as new story DLC.
“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,” said the game’s senior producer back in October. “We know players have a love for this brand, and Ubisoft is excited to bring more Prince of Persia experiences in the future.”
The only other Prince of Persia game that fans of the franchise can check out is Evil Empire’s The Rogue Prince of Persia, which is currently an Early Access title. For more details, check out our review of the title. You can also check out our review of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
