3. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – January 18
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the first Prince of Persia game in 14 years! It’s a 2.5D Metroidvania this time, which is a genre that could lend itself to the best gameplay elements of the 2D and 3D games in the series. The character redesign is questionable, but early impressions of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown are enthusiastic! This reimagining of a classic franchise is the highest ranked game on The Top 5 Video Games Arriving in January 2024 not competing for the top spot. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will be available for everything.
