The latest adventure, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, has just unveiled its vast world. But players are asking, how extensive is this new saga? Here’s the current intel.

After a 14-year hiatus, Prince of Persia fans are celebrating the return of the storied franchise. While the ‘Sands of Time’ remake faced setbacks, the new title has successfully made its debut, promising fresh excitement and intrigue.

The one project that is nearing completion, however, is The Lost Crown. A dazzling 2.5D adventure introducing us to a new protagonist in Sargon. As the first new title in over a decade, it’s safe to say expectations are certainly high.

But how will this fresh take on the classic IP unfold when it goes live on January 18? Here’s what we know about the length of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

How long is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown? Main story run

While we don’t yet have the game in our hands, Ubisoft has gone on record ahead of launch. Devs indicate The Lost Crown is set to span roughly 25 hours for its main story run.

This puts it well ahead of most other Prince of Persia titles and quite a bit longer still than most similar 2.5D Metroidvania-esque titles.

Currently, it’s unclear just how long a 100% run of The Lost Crown may take. If the main path is set to roughly 25 hours, players can expect quite a bit more to see and do every single thing in the game.

From side activities to optional challenges, plenty of hidden paths to explore, and a great deal in between, you can certainly add quite a few hours to the experience if you’re a completionist.
