Prince of Persia Revelations

By Mayur Gandhi

Prince of Persia is making its way to PSP with Prince of Persia Revelations, the latest in the PoP franchise from Ubisoft. Building on last year's console success, Prince of Persia Warrior Within, PoP Revelations will feature original content such as additional puzzles, new maps and redesigned levels. The game takes combat to a higher level with new combos using melee weapons, projectiles, walls and more with the Free-Form Fighting system. Players will be able to journey through non-linear environments and engage in soul-shattering boss battles.

The story begins a few years after the conclusion of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The Prince has returned to Babylon, to find himself hunted by a supernatural creature bent on his destruction.

Forced to live a life on the run, he seeks counsel from an old mystic, who explains that the Prince's actions have spawned a creature known as the Dahaka. In saving the Sultan's palace from destruction, the Prince created a rift in the Timeline. The Dahaka intends to repair this problem – by ending the Prince's life.

The Prince quickly realizes that there's only one way to end his troubles: journey to the birthplace island of the Sands of Time, find a way to travel into the past, and stop the Sands from being created.

He sets sail for the island immediately...
