Ubisoft has responded to a report published yesterday that claimed Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown’s team had been disbanded.
In a statement to Eurogamer, the Assassin’s Creed publisher largely confirmed what had been reported – though made clear that the game’s team were still present and busy at development studio Ubisoft Montpellier, albeit now on “other projects that will benefit from their expertise”.
Yesterday’s report by Origami was not fully clear on the status of the team behind The Lost Crown – which received a positive critical response upon its launch this year, though failed to set tills ringing.
The report also suggested The Lost Crown would not receieve a sequel as a result of its commercial performance – something Ubisoft does not contradict today – with ideas for a follow-up reportedly merged into plans for the game’s DLC.
