The excellent Metroidvania Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown blew us away back when it launched in January, and Ubisoft has been providing fans with free updates since its release. But now, Sargon will be embarking on a new story chapter when the first piece of DLC lands on 17th September 2024.
Titled Mask of Darkness, the DLC was teased back at Ubisoft Forward in June. And while we don't know too much about the DLC, we do know that we'll be exploring a whole new interconnected world with "exclusive biomes" on Mount Qaf. Look, more exploration and combat in a new world is enough for us.
The announcement came alongside the launch of The Lost Crown's Steam release, which finally arrived yesterday, 8th August. We're sure Ubisoft will give us a little more info on Mask of Darkness in the coming weeks, but for now, we've only got that teaser trailer from the reveal.
While this DLC will be paid content, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's free updates have all been worth checking out. These include Warrior's Path, Boss Attack, and the Divine Trials.
Will you be grabbing Mask of Darkness for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown this September? Air dash down to the comments.

Phenomenal game — loved every minute of it.
Do we know if this paid DLC is included for people who bought the digital deluxe version?
Oh? That's some nice stuff for sure.
Still my GOTY and for the price it goes for nowadays it’s a no-brainer. Throw PoP, Ori, Hollow Knight and Metroid Dread into a blender and Lost Crown is what you get
Cool! I literally just started playing Lost Crown last week, and welcome more content!
I’m certainly intrigued! What a good way to keep an early year hit within the public consciousness ahead of awards season 😏
@Citrus_Architect The digital deluxe edition does not include this paid DLC. It includes the Immortal outfit, the Prosperity Bird amulet, and access to the digital adventure guide.
Nice! The base game is great, so I'm totally in for this DLC, if it's good enough.
Very solid game, also the British way of writing dates is so much more logical than my American way.
Loved the game, I'm definitely interested in more content.
Very excited for this dlc. Also if anyone at Nintendo life sees this, there's a typo in the first paragraph.
"Launched i9n January,"
Can we get a physical ultimate edition with all the DLC? I know Ubisoft loves stuff like that.
@ShonenJump121 : They sure used to, didn't they? These days, they tend to lazily toss in the base game cartridge and a download code for the DLC instead.
$5 for those wondering, like me. For that reasonable price I’ll probably get it day 1, since this is my GOTY so far.
Bought the physical this week, so the main campaign is on the backlog. Perhaps I'll play the DLC right afterwards.
Not sure when I'll get or at least play it just because I'm still in the middle (almost literally as I'm not that higher than 50% in-game completion) of the main game, but eventually for sure!
@AlanaHagues As @Bigmanfan pointed out there's a typo, "launched i9n January".
Bought a copy on Prime day and yet to play it. Hope I enjoy it enough to have this to look forward too at the end!
Really enjoying it so far (7 hours in). It starts out okay but gets better all the time. Game looks pretty sweet too. I'll definitely pick up this dlc someday.
This is one of the best games that I have played in a few years and I want more of it so so bad I just hope this isn’t like A DLC that jacks up the difficulty significantly like a lot of them tend to do. Because I beat the game on normal difficulty, but it was pretty hard and I don’t think anything harder would be enjoyable to me. The current difficulty is Goldilocks, just right.
@AdolBannings-Laylee I agree, it’s challenging enough to push back but not so much that it feels unfair. I died a lot but never felt frustrated by it, was always my fault and not the game being overly tough.
At least this game lets you change the difficulty (and then some, you can tweak it to be as easy or hard as you like) unlike certain other games 🙄
