After 14 years, after so many wonderful episodes and memories of players, Prince of Persia is back.Working on such an iconic IP is a gift for an art team but also a commitment to its legacy.And one of the first questions we had was: What can we bring thats new and unique and how?.The Lost Crown is a natural and respectful return to what first made the franchise a success: a side-view action/adventure game, rich with epic fights and intense platforming sequences, full of traps and puzzles, embracing an inspiring story in mythical Persia.Our ambition was to build a solid and coherent piece of work to invite players on a memorable journey alongside the Immortals. To immerse players in each interconnected area of the cursed Mount Qaf, from the ramparts of the Citadel of Knowledge to the frozen heights of the Tower of Silence, from the depths of the Hyrcanian Forest to the raging Caspian Sea, so many iconic places.For this new experience, Sargon, our prodigy hero and spearhead of the game, faces many dangers and creatures. As a fearless warrior, he slashes opponents thanks to his sword mastery and uses Time Powers or Special Abilities that require extraordinary command of his Athra. To deliver this sense of epicness, we brought modernity to the Persian lore and drew from our own influences. The animation, the visual effects, the vibrant color palette, and the energetic narrative layout echo our love for anime and superhero comics, all combined in an effort to achieve our unique signature.All of that wouldnt have been possible without all the artists and teams involved. Creating a rich and meaningful world from scratch can be ambitious, and we were able to tackle this challenge thanks to their incredible work and unwavering commitment. We are so honored to have been by their side and proud of what they have achieved.May their amazing talent shine through this Art Blast.Finally, a humble and simple idea guided us during this creating process. It was all about creating bridges: between old friends of Prince of Persia and a new generation of players, between the young and the experienced artists, between ancient Persian mythology and modern pop culture. To unite people and sensibilities to write this love letter to the Prince of Persia series, and beyond that, to the art of video games.Welcome to Mount Qaf!Jean Christophe AlessandriArt Director, Prince of Persia: The Lost CrownOmar SabrouAssociate Art Director, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Jean-Christophe Alessandri Art Director Ubisoft Montpellier Omar Sabrou Associate Art Director Ubisoft Montpellier Pierre Bertin Concept artist Ubisoft Montpellier Clment Tingry Concept artist Ubisoft Montpellier Flix Donadio Concept artist Ubisoft Montpellier Gael Chauvet Concept artist Ubisoft Montpellier Mathieu Aubry Concept artist Ubisoft Montpellier Romain Laforet Concept artist Ubisoft Montpellier Marie Mouttet Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Lola Guerin Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Guillaume Carton Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Laurent Lecroisey Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Loic Anquetil Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Paolo Dupuy Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Mathieu Dubouis Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Sebastien De Mollerat Du Jeu Environment artist Ubisoft Montpellier Hugo Lafont Lighting artist Ubisoft Montpellier Justine Jubin Lighting artist Ubisoft Montpellier Marine Saint-Aroman Lighting artist Ubisoft Montpellier Guillaume Dos Santos Character artist Ubisoft Toronto Julien Nicolas Character artist Ubisoft Montpellier Silana Cadou Character artist Ubisoft Montpellier Guillaume Moll Character artist Ubisoft Montpellier Anthony Simon Character artist Ubisoft Montpellier Florent Renard Character artist Ubisoft Montpellier Chlo Veillard Character designer Ubisoft Montpellier Paradis Sok Character designer Ubisoft Montpellier Adrien Breton FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Baptiste Rykner FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Lou Cortes FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier No Thoumy FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Olivier Babu FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Antoine Arthur Lead FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Thibaut Dannenmuller FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Quentin Chalivat FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Lo Diringer FX artist Ubisoft Montpellier Kvin-Mark Bonein Concept artist Ubisoft Montpellier Romain Pommier Character artist Ubisoft Montpellier Alexandre Fiolka Character artist Ubisoft Montpellier Florian Devos Character designer Ubisoft Montpellier Marine Coiffard Character designer Ubisoft Montpellier The post Ubisoft Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown appeared first on ArtStation Magazine.
