Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, this year’s great Metroidvania-style comeback of Ubisoft’s popular platform game series, has just received the second of three free updates announced earlier, adding a new Boss Rush mode and more.
After installing today’s update, players can access two new boss-related challenges through Artaban in The Haven. The first is Boss Revenge, allowing players to face previously defeated bosses again at any difficulty level, with a statistics board tracking their best attempts.
While Boss Revenge focuses on individual battles, there’s also the new Boss Rush mode. In this classic challenge, players must defeat all eight bosses in the game consecutively. To help with the challenge, players can change their equipped amulets and use Athra surges between each boss encounter.

One costume is based on the Prince’s outfit from Ubisoft’s 2008 reboot, and the other shows Sargon with most of his clothes missing, according to the render provided.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown’s Boss Attack update, as Ubisoft officially calls it, launches today on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
This is the second of three free updates that were previously announced, following the Warrior’s Path DLC in March, which added a Speedrun and Permadeath mode.
Next up is Divine Trials, which will introduce new combat, platforming, and puzzle challenges, along with new amulets and Sargon outfits.
It’s expected to be released sometime this summer. Following that will be a paid story expansion coming later this year.
