About this time last year, Ubisoft released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a fantastic side-scrolling Metroidvania — but it sadly failed to live up to the publisher's expectations.
Despite great reviews, the game didn't deliver in terms of sales, leading to the team being dispersed to other Ubisoft projects.
Recently, it seemingly came to light just how many copies the game shifted, thanks to a Ubisoft employee's LinkedIn account (which mysteriously no longer exists).
As spotted by X user Timur222, the profile, belonging to an Associate Marketing Director, stated The Lost Crown sold over 1.3 million units in its first year.
This seems like a fairly respectable figure, but obviously, it wasn't enough to meet the publisher's internal targets.
Ubisoft has been through the wringer over the last year or two with several tepid game launches and other issues, including the short-livedXDefiant and Star Wars Outlaws, which should've been a slam dunk but also failed to sell.
damn.. sucks to see games like this not meet sales expectations. Thoughts, SW? Will we ever see another Prince of Persia game?
