Prince of Persia: Revelations is an action-adventure and platformer game developed by Pipeworks Software and published by Ubisoft, released for the PlayStation Portable in 2005. It is a port of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, originally released for consoles and PC in 2004, with additional content exclusive to the PSP version.
The game follows the Prince as he attempts to alter his fate by confronting the mythical creature known as the Dahaka. Gameplay combines acrobatic platforming with melee combat and puzzle-solving, set in a dark, atmospheric world. The PSP version includes four new areas not found in the original release, adding to the overall content while adapting the control scheme and visuals for handheld play.
Reception of Prince of Persia: Revelations was mixed. While the core gameplay and narrative were largely preserved, critics pointed out technical issues such as frame rate drops, lengthy load times, and imprecise controls on the PSP. The added content was generally welcomed but did not fully compensate for the performance drawbacks. On Metacritic, the game holds average scores, reflecting a less polished adaptation compared to its console counterpart.
The game was released exclusively for the PlayStation Portable and served as an early attempt to bring the full-scale Prince of Persia experience to handheld devices, albeit with notable compromises.
