Ancient Persia, that mysterious land of legends and magic, is home to the hero of the Prince of Persia® adventure series. Players are spirited away to become fully immersed in an imaginary world reminiscent of One Thousand and One Nights and other Oriental tales, where they face sabers and scimitars, where the sand is omnipresent, and princesses are renowned for their unparalleled beauty.

With a winning combination of combat, platform acrobatics and strategy, Prince of Persia® is an action game that is fully captivating both by the quality and beauty of its visuals as well as by its screenplay and narrative. To date, more than 17 million players around the world have become one with the Prince and engaged in his fantastic adventures.

A Prince with a heart and incredible powers

A young nobleman of unknown origins, the Prince is charismatic, clever, and endowed with incredible agility. With a remarkable tendency for attracting trouble-which only makes him more human and loveable-he will have to move heaven and earth to extract himself from the hole he's dug himself into, relying on his extraordinary powers to climb, jump, glide along walls, and other feats. The Prince's movements and abilities are at the heart of the series' gameplay and the hallmark of this franchise. Little by little, players must learn to push the boundaries of their own limits if they are to become skilled enough to make their way through the different levels and escape the traps set by their enemies. The impossible becomes possible.

Innovative gameplay

The franchise provides an immersive environment in which players can lose themselves while travelling through both time and the land of ancient Persia, with the long celebrated majestic beauty of the landscapes and places visited by the Prince playing an integral part in this franchise's gameplay.

Coupled with game mechanics that break away from those used by traditional action and platform games, Prince of Persia® allows players to learn and progress at their own pace, thanks in large part to an error correction system called Rewind, which was created especially for the series' first title, and represented a major breakthrough at the time!

As players progress through the game, they must also learn how to solve puzzles and riddles in order to improve their skills and reach higher levels.

Highly acclaimed fluidity of movement, original gameplay, and an impeccably designed fantasy world-these are the pillars on which this franchise has been built, with resounding success.
