Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is almost here after over a decade of waiting for fans of the series. As Ubisoft brings back what was previously its flagship franchise, you can be sure that there are multiple editions to choose from. Here’s everything you need to know about each version of the game.
How many special editions are there for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
Unlike some recent major releases from Ubisoft, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has a modest selection by comparison. There’s no collector’s edition like Avatar fans have been treated to, and there’s only one upgrade from the base game. Maybe Ubisoft is just testing the waters after such a long time between games.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe Edition of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the highest tier (read: most expensive) version available. It comes with the base game, the Deluxe Pack, and early access to the game.
The Deluxe Pack contains the Immortals Outfit, the Prosperity Bird Amulet, and the Digital Adventure Guide, all pictured above. The biggest gameplay enhancement here is the Prosperity Bird Amulet, as it lets you summon a bird to find hidden treasures, which will no doubt come in handy.
As for early access, if you buy the Deluxe Edition, you’ll get the game three days early, on January 15 instead of January 18.
If you’ve really been waiting since 2010 for a new Prince of Persia game, then you’ll probably enjoy the Digital Adventure Guide, as it promises to reveal more about the mysteries surrounding the game’s locale, Mount Qaf.
The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Deluxe Edition is on sale for $59.99, which is a $10 increase over the base game. The Deluxe Edition is also the version of the game that comes with Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+. That’s available from $14.99 per month and also gives you access to over 100 other games, including day one releases like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
If you’re happy to pre-order Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, then you’ll also receive the Warrior Within outfit, which, you guessed it, is the costume from arguably the best game in the series, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
The Warrior Within outfit comes with all pre-orders of the game, whether you get the standard edition or the Deluxe Edition. You’ll also get the Warrior Within garb if you play the game on Ubisoft+ at any time.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on January 18, 2024.
