Despite positive reviews, the game failed to meet financial expectations. Ubisoft reassigned the team to other projects and hinted at future updates for the Prince of Persia franchise. The company faces broader challenges, including delayed projects and internal discontent, but remains committed to its future endeavors. ## Content # Ubisoft Disbands Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Amidst Broader Challenges Ubisoft has decided to cease support for *Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown*, disbanding the team at Ubisoft Montpellier responsible for its development. This decision comes despite the game receiving strong reviews and community praise. The game, which had positive feedback, failed to meet Ubisoft's financial expectations, resulting in its disappointing sales. ### Development Team and Company Strategy The development team members have been reassigned to other projects within Ubisoft, with no layoffs reported. Ubisoft hinted at future Prince of Persia experiences, including the anticipated remake of *The Sands of Time*. However, proposed sequels and further expansions for *The Lost Crown* have been rejected. Michael Douse, Larian's Director of Publishing, criticized Ubisoft's strategy, attributing the low sales partly to the company's initial decision to exclude the game from Steam. He noted that Ubisoft's stance on game ownership and its broader strategy have led to several unsuccessful releases. Ubisoft is starting to return its titles to Steam, which may indicate a strategic shift. ### Broader Company Challenges Ubisoft is facing numerous challenges, including project delays, missed sales targets for other games, and internal discontent exemplified by employee strikes over return-to-office policies. The financial struggles also led to a revision of financial targets and delays for upcoming titles like *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, which followed the soft sales of *Star Wars Outlaws*. Despite these setbacks, Ubisoft remains committed to the Prince of Persia franchise and other future projects, suggesting a continuing effort to adapt and refine its approach in the evolving gaming market. ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@ghost** · 1 upvotes > Ok, here is why the sales were disppointing. > If you look at the image, you will see that this "prince" has not-a-straight-man's hair cut. He looks like an idiot who missed puberty. And why is he naked? if it's cold there you need clothes, if it's hot, you need clothes to protect against the sun. Is he going to ask to speak to the enemies's manager or something?
