What's New?

This Prince of Persia is a bit different from the old saga, especially with its jump to the new generation of consoles. The Prince has picked up some new tricks, and a lot of the gameplay mechanics have been tweaked. Don't worry, though – this revamped Prince is just as awesome, if not even better than before!
