Way back in March, Ubisoft’s shared its post-launch roadmap for the excellent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and six months later we’re almost at its end. Its final content drop – the paid Mask of Darkness story DLC – launches on 17th September, and Ubisoft’s has now revealed at least some of what players can expect to see when it arrives.
Mask of Darkness introduces a “sizeable” new biome known as Radjen’s Mind Palace, promising “fresh traversal elements, traps, enemies, and more”. It’ll unlock once players have escaped the Depths and acquired the Shadow of the Simurgh time power, meaning players will need to have a decent amount of playtime under their belts before they can get stuck in.
Radjen’s Mind Palace – a “surreal landscape” of floating blocks and caverns lit by ghostly flame – is accessed by teleporting from a hidden room in Mount Qaf’s Lower City. While inside, Sargon is stripped of all his amulets and powers, most of his arrows and healing items, plus all but two of his time powers – the Rush of the Simurgh air-dash and Shadow of the Simurgh.
