Without going into too many details (or spoilers) from Gameinformer's original playthrough, the author had the chance to play through the first ~3 hours of the upcoming title. During this time, he experienced several notable parts of the storyline, along with varying elements of platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat in a Metroidvania-style layout.

Gameplay Experience and Setting

The storyline revolves around Sargon, a warrior of The Immortals, who's on a mission to rescue Prince Ghassan. Throughout the story, you'll explore the mystical Mount Qaf, use time-manipulation powers that are a cornerstone of the Prince of Persia series, and engage in combat reminiscent of fighting games.
