About Prince of Persia 3 (working title):
The Prince of Persia, a seasoned warrior, returns from the Island of Time to
Babylon with his love, Kaileena. Instead of the peace that he longs for, he
finds his homeland ravaged by war and the kingdom turned against him. The Prince
is rapidly captured and Kaileena has no choice but to sacrifice herself and
unleash the Sands of Time in order to save him. Now cast out on the streets and
hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that past battles have given
rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him. Game
features include:
- Play and master two distinct characters: Wield the powers and weapons of two
master warriors with different combat styles, attitudes, and histories.
- Choose your way to fight: Master the expanded Free-Form Fighting system to
destroy enemies in your own style; strangle enemies from afar with the deadly
Daggertail; or surprise them with full-speed one-shot kills using a brand new
stealth art. The choice is yours.
- Battle freely through Babylon: Dominate enemies on the perilous rooftops,
dodge through chaotic streets, and ambush pursuers in dark, underground
passageways.
- Immerse yourself in a dramatic story: Experience unparalleled depth in
storytelling as you fight your way through a twisting tale filled with
adrenaline, tension and discovery.
- Manipulate time to surprise enemies: Execute powerful attacks against entire
armies by slowing down or rewinding time, or surprise them by using some all-new
Sands of Time powers.
- Experience a masterful blend of gameplay: True to the Prince of Persia
franchise, the game provides a variety of action combat, agility and
story-driven puzzles - all masterfully blended together into a rich gaming
experience.
