About Prince of Persia

Set in a land rooted in ancient
Persian mythology, the warrior Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle
between the primal forces of light and darkness that pits the God of Light,
Ormazd, against his brother, Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. After
witnessing the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life – an act which
unleashes Ahriman’s corrupted darkness onto the land – the Prince and his deadly
companion, Elika, embark on a journey to heal the world from the evil Corruption
and defeat Ahriman once and for all.

Led by the all-star team that
previously created the Prince of Persia® Sands of Time trilogy, Prince of Persia
has been in development at Ubisoft’s Montreal studio for over three years. The
video game opens an entirely new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe in
addition to introducing a fresh illustrative art style, evolved combat system,
open world structure and dynamic AI – most notably in the form of the Prince’s
powerful ally Elika.
