Prince of Persia is a third-person action-adventure game that starts a new trilogy. The player takes on the role of the Prince, who searches for his donkey, Farah, carrying unimaginable treasures. After a sandstorm, the Prince falls into a canyon and meets Elika, a princess with magical powers. Together, they must stop Ahriman, the God of Darkness, and his minions from taking over the world.

The game features sword fighting, wall climbing, spike dodging, puzzle-solving, and more. Unlike the previous trilogy, the Prince cannot rewind time and faces one strong enemy at a time. Elika helps the Prince by using her powers to set him back to the beginning of jumping puzzles and in fights, jump further distances, and show him the way to go next. The game also features Quick Time Events, cel-shaded graphics, and heavily stylized characters.
