Prince of Persia is set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology. The Prince finds himself in the midst of an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness: Ormazd, the god of light, challenges his brother Ahriman, the destructive god of darkness. The Prince witnesses the legendary Tree of Life being destroyed by this conflict.
The entire world now threatens to sink into eternal darkness. This threat manifests itself as a dark substance that permeates and poisons the land and air. The Prince must join forces with his deadly companion Elika to save the world from corruption.
The game was developed over more than three years by the same all-star team at the award-winning Ubisoft Montreal studio that created the previous Prince of Persia® Sands of Time trilogy. The new Prince of Persia opens an entirely new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe. Its distinguishing features include a fresh illustrative art style, a well-developed combat system, an open-world structure and dynamic AI—particularly evident in Elika, the Prince’s powerful ally.
