Report: Ubisoft’s Lost Crown Core Team Reunites to Pitch New Game

The unconfirmed reunion hints at room for smaller, creator-led pitches inside a publisher that has favored big franchise bets.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that a small group of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown’s lead creatives has regrouped and is pitching a new game to Ubisoft, though the company has not confirmed the move.
  • French journalist Gauthier Andres, known as Gautoz, shared the report on Bluesky and described the group as a compact core that could bring more developers on as plans firm up.
  • No project details are public, and the pitches may not involve Prince of Persia, leaving the door open to other Ubisoft series or a new IP.
  • Ubisoft disbanded the Lost Crown team in October 2024 despite strong reviews, after the game sold about 1.3 million copies in its first year and later reached roughly 3 million players.
  • Vice notes the Sands of Time remake was canceled earlier this year, and this rumored regrouping could shape what, if anything, carries the Prince of Persia brand forward.
