Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – Mask of Darkness DLC Now Available
/
Ubisoft has released the final story DLC for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, titled Mask of Darkness. This new update, now available on all platforms, adds a darker twist to the narrative as players dive into an epic new chapter of Sargon’s journey. Expanding on the Metroidvania-inspired gameplay that fans have enjoyed, Mask of Darkness introduces a completely new interconnected world full of exclusive biomes, enemies, and challenging new mechanics.
In Mask of Darkness, Sargon is being hunted by Radjen, a deadly assassin from the Immortals. After their confrontation, Sargon becomes trapped in Radjen’s Mind Palace—a nightmarish realm of dark magic filled with surreal landscapes and otherworldly creations. To escape, Sargon must navigate treacherous environments and defeat powerful enemies, all while uncovering the secrets of the mysterious Mask of Darkness.
Players will explore four distinct new biomes, each offering unique challenges and more than ten new types of traversal obstacles. Expect deadly traps and mechanisms such as lasers and teleportation portals, making the platforming a bit more challenging. Combat is also ramped up, with six new enemy types and three epic boss battles. To help players survive, Mask of Darkness includes three new Amulets that provide new abilities to hopefully make things a bit more tolerable.
The Mask of Darkness DLC is available for purchase as a standalone addition or as part of the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – Complete Edition, which includes the base game, new outfits for Sargon, the Immortals outfit, Prosperity bird amulet, and more. For existing players, the Complete Upgrade Pack offers access to the DLC, additional outfits, an amulet, and the digital adventure guide. Additionally, Ubisoft+ subscribers will receive an automatic upgrade to the Complete Edition.
As a special bonus, fans of the Prince of Persia franchise can look forward to a free Prince of Persia: Warrior Within outfit in celebration of the series' 35th anniversary.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is our first review for 2024 that received a 5/5 from us as it’s a fantastic metroidvania platformer and can easily be considered one of Ubisoft’s best offering in recent years.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and the Mask of Darkness DLC are available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam.
Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is a fantastic third-person shooter that I highly recommend not only for fans of the franchise, but anyone who’s curious about it. It’s one of the more solid shooter campaigns released in recent years, with co-op features that make it a real treat with friends.
