They shared a new message confirming they’re going to release Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on Mac devices. Additionally, they’ve confirmed that they’re working on new projects. This likely includes the rumored Rayman remake.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the first new entry in the series in over fifteen years. The game returns the series to its 2D roots.

The game supports 60 FPS on all platforms, including Nintendo Switch in both docked and handheld modes.

Our review of the game describes it as a “fantastic introduction to the Metroidvania genre. Despite a predictable story and graphical oddities, the game’s accessibility options, unique gameplay, and thrilling level design makes it a great choice for anyone hoping to get into the Metroidvania genre for the first time.” Lastly, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and it’s coming to iOS and Android on April 14.

Zombie Police: Midsummer Unhappy New Year

Lobstudio has announced that detective visual novel Zombie Police: Midsummer Unhappy New Year, the sequel to Zombie Police: Christmas Dancing with Police Zombies, will release first for PC via Steam on November 22 for $10.99. The Nintendo Switch version of Zombie Police: Midsummer Unhappy New Year will release at a later date.

“Zombie Police is ultimately a game about older traditions versus newer values and ways of life,” said Lobstudio CEO Tsuyoshi Manabe in a press release. “I wanted to make a game that explores these ideas while also providing fun characters and fun investigation-inspired gameplay mixed with a visual novel. I hope fans of games like the Ace Attorney games, Danganronpa, and PARANORMASIGHT find inspiration and fun with Zombie Police!”

Here’s an overview of Zombie Police: Midsummer Unhappy New Year, via the official Steam page:

Ancient Customs VS Detective Zomby = ???

Shimofuri Village is trapped in a winter that never ends—even at the height of summer.

Then a VTuber is caught up in a gruesome incident while streaming live.

The case falls to Akemi Kabane, the fearless and unpredictable Detective Zomby, and Yasu Tamura, her straight-laced junior partner and devoted fan of detective dramas.

What dark customs is the village hiding?
What really happened during that horrifying broadcast?

The mismatched detective duo returns for a new case where comedy and tragedy collide.

Enter Hidden Worlds with Zombie Dive

Akemi’s new ability, Zombie Dive, lets her enter the mental world of an investigation target and draw out information that ordinary questioning could never uncover.

People are not the only possible targets. She can dive into objects and even museum exhibits. Could a beetle or a woolly mammoth hold the clue that cracks the case?

Choose how to approach each target and uncover the testimony hidden within.

Connect the Testimony and Complete the Journal

Organize everything you learn from interviews and Zombie Dives in Yasu’s case notes, the Journal.

Connect the right testimony and clues, and scattered events will begin to form a single, coherent truth.

Present the Evidence and Expose the Truth

Use the information you have organized to spot contradictions and close in on the heart of the case.

Choose the decisive evidence and confront your opponent with a truth they cannot deny. When every mystery falls into place, what was hidden behind the case will finally emerge.

Investigate Like Only an Immortal Can

Take off her own head. Sleep in a freezer. Drink poison in a single gulp to test a theory.

“Because I’m… a zombie, after all!”

With an undying body and no regard for common sense, Akemi investigates in ways no ordinary detective could survive.

Laugh with the Duo—Then Face the Horror

One moment, the free-spirited senior detective and her long-suffering junior are trading jokes. The next, the dark history of Shimofuri Village begins to close in around them.

Funny, serious, and unmistakably Zombie Police. Discover a comedy-mystery adventure where every laugh leads deeper into a gruesome case.
