The fact that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown players step into the shoes of a warrior named Sargon is but one of many ways that Ubisoft is taking the franchise in a new direction. Indeed, whereas past games have been entirely focused on the unnamed Prince's journey to rescue the princess and protect Persia, he has now become the rescuee. The now-named Prince Ghassan has been kidnapped and taken into Mount Qaf, and it's up to Sargon and the order of Immortals to rescue him. The problem here is two-fold: first, the antagonist wields the powerful Sands of Time (another break for the franchise). Second, Mount Qaf is cursed and no one who has entered it in the past 30 years has returned alive.
