No, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown does not feature any co-op or multiplayer modes for players to travel around Ubisoft’s world with friends.

Instead, it will stay true to the franchise roots with as a linear single-player action-adventure game, but it will add some heavy and interesting metroidvania elements to give it a distinctive touch.

Can you play Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown with Local Co-Op?

No, you can’t play Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown with friends locally, meaning you can’t play through the story while you share your couch with a buddy.

Thanks to its Persian world being interconnected and filled with fun fights and intricate puzzles, players might find the lack of co-op disappointing. However, Ubisoft could add a multiplayer mode in the near future, after the game launches.
