The excellent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is set to receive a final DLC in September 2024. This expansion promises to be rich in content, but also particularly devious according to Ubisoft.
Released in January 2024, the excellent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has restored the nobility of a license that has been forgotten for far too long. And even if the game did not meet with the expected commercial success, Ubisoft has continued to regularly release free content for the title.
As announced in the roadmap published in March 2024, players were able to extend the experience thanks to a host of new featuressuch as Speedrun and Permanent Death modes, Boss Rush mode and Divine Trials, launched during the summer of 2024.
We knew it, a final DLC was due to be released by the end of the year. The studio has finally decided to say more about it. Named Mask of Darknessthis will be the only paid expansion (the previous contents were free) of the game. According to Ubi, this approach is justified since we will have to expect an avalanche of contents with this DLC.

One last big DLC for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
First of all, Mask of Darkness will include a new biomeknown as the Radjen’s Mind Palace. Let’s specify that this area will be accessible provided that you have unlocked the power of time Shadow of The Simurgh. In other words, players will have to have progressed enough in the main game to discover it.
Where it gets interesting is that Mask of Darkness promises a tricky challenge. In addition to introducing fearsome new enemies like mechanical birds with circular saws, Sargon will be stripped of almost all of his temporal powersThe same goes for amulets, arrows and additional healing potions. So, back to square one.
Don’t panic though, the area is home to new amulets like the Vampiric Chakram, but also potions and Soma tree flowers to increase your life bar. Consequently, Sargon should not remain fragile for very long in this universe governed by the laws of Radjen, a former member of the Immortals.
As a reminder, the Mask of Darkness DLC from Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is expected this September 17, 2024 on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Amazon Luna. As for its price, Ubisoft has kept it a secret for now.
