After more than a decade of waiting, Prince of Persia fans will finally be able to get their hands on the latest installment in the iconic franchise: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. And just like every other game, there are different editions to choose from while adding the game in your shopping bucket. So, whether you’re planning to pre-order or are just curious about what each edition offers, we’ve got you covered.
What Game Editions Does Prince Of Persia: The Last Crown Have?
With a humble collection of only three game editions, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown seems to lack variety, given the long wait since the franchise’s last release. However, despite not featuring a cool Sargon statue or any other collectible that we all would’ve loved to add on our shelves, the game editions do feature some extras. So, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of each edition.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Standard Edition ($49.99)
As you guessed it, the Standard Edition of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the base version of the game. This edition is perfect for those who want to experience the core game without any additional frills.
If you pre-order the Standard Edition, you’ll receive the Warrior Within outfit as a bonus. If the attire’s name sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a throwback to Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, a game that came out in 2004.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Deluxe Edition ($59.99)
The Deluxe Edition of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown takes the spotlight in the whole collection, featuring the following additional content and benefits:
- Early access. The Deluxe Edition allows you to get a head start on the game by giving you access three days earlier before its official release.
- Immortal outfit. Equipping Sargon with detailed chest armor and vambraces, this outfit stands out as one of the most visually stunning in the game.
- Prosperity Bird Amulet. A lifesaver for all of us completionists out there, this amulet emits a distinct bird call followed by a soft chime sound whenever you’re in the proximity of a hidden item.
- Digital Adventure Guide. This guide is packed with helpful tips and tricks to navigate the game. It provides a complete story walkthrough, character development tips, combat strategies, and descriptions of all the mechanics, collectables, and puzzles.
If you pre-order the Deluxe Edition, you can also add the Warrior Within outfit to your collection.
