Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for PlayStation 3 is part of the long-running Prince of Persia series and takes place between The Sands of Time and Warrior Within. Developed by Ubisoft Montréal and Ubisoft Singapore, the game returns to the franchise’s signature blend of acrobatic platforming and combat while introducing new magical abilities tied to the power of sand.
The story follows the Prince as he visits his brother’s kingdom, which is under siege by a massive army. In an effort to save the realm, he unleashes ancient powers that grant him control over natural elements such as water and earth. These powers are integrated into the game’s puzzles and traversal, requiring players to manipulate the environment while navigating complex platforming sequences.
Gameplay focuses on fluid movement, environmental puzzles, and fast-paced melee combat. The Prince can climb, jump, and wall-run through expansive levels filled with traps and enemies. Magical abilities, earned throughout the story, expand both combat and exploration possibilities.
