Ubisoft Disbands Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team After Sales Disappointment

Despite critical acclaim, the development team behind the Metroidvania title has been reassigned to other projects within Ubisoft.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown received positive reviews but sold only one million copies, falling short of Ubisoft's internal sales expectations.
The game's development team at Ubisoft Montpellier has been disbanded, with members reassigned to projects like Beyond Good and Evil 2, Ghost Recon, and a Rayman remake.
A proposed sequel for The Lost Crown was rejected by Ubisoft, which feared it would cannibalize sales of the original game.
Ubisoft remains committed to the Prince of Persia franchise, with plans for a Sands of Time remake set for 2026.
The decision to disband the team comes amid broader challenges for Ubisoft, including delayed releases and financial pressures.
